Black Bear & Night Falls - Not Going Away

Almost the man I want to be
So close for so long
I told you last night
That one day I'll be gone
We miss the dead
But do the dead miss us
Frozen photos
And a box of dust
To the mountains
We're just clouds passing through
I can think of plenty worse things to do
Not going away
No way now
Not going insane
Say no now
I got something to say
Don't know how
Got no one to blame
It's on me now
Not going away
No way now
Not going insane
Say no now
I got something to say
Don't know how
Got no one to blame
It's on me now
Breathe on the embers
That still glow in the ashes
Carry the fire
And you'll never need matches
Fuel the flame with the rejection letters
That burning hopefulness
That what we do matters
What good are chances that we never take?
What good's a legacy taken to the grave?
Unpublished novels left for dead on the shelf
Am I the serpent who is eating himself?
Not going away
No way now
Not going insane
Say no now
Got something to say
Don't know how
Got no one to blame
It's on me now
Not going away
No way now
Not going insane
Say no now
I got something to say
Don't know how
Got no one to blame
It's on me now
Not going away, no way, now
Not going insane, say no, now
I got something to say
Don't know how
Got no one to blame
It's on me now
I'm on a walk in the woods.
It's snowing
It's a walk that I do often
It's about 20 minutes out
20 minutes back on the same trail
And I'm amazed to see
That my footprints from the way out
Are already completely gone
It's like I wasn't even here
