Mildew

Your hills and valleys are all covered in mildew
Cause only at the top of mountains can you find the will to
Sing and say some words that have inevitably filled you
I know my greatest weakness is telling me there's no real you
I know the real you is a faded and jaded past
But I don't see no flowers growing in this old grass
Cause flowers don't glow in the rain
And a broken man still feels the pain

Cause once you find the other side
I know it'll look too bright
But don't you worry, won't your open eyes
Hold my hand, I know you won't go blind
Tell me now, you see these hills and oceans?
It'll hurt this ain't no magic pill or potion
This is what you want?
Isn't it?
This is what you want?
Isn't it?

Cause I've crossed a million rivers
And I'm still gone get wet
Cause if you never look down
Then you'll begin to forget
If one path makes you lose others
Is it worth what you get?
Your current worries are about as deep as it gets
Wouldn't you wanna pay rent underneath all the stars?
If only happy moments could be kept into jars
Instead we're just left with the scars
And we worry about what isn't ours

Cause once you find the other side
I know it'll look too bright
But don't you worry, won't your open eyes
Hold my hand, I know you won't go blind
Tell me now, you see these hills and oceans?
It'll hurt this ain't no magic pill or potion
This is what you want?
Isn't it?
This is what you want?
Isn't it?

I'm finally free
I'm finally me
I'm finally free
I'm finally me
I don't need you now
I'm all I need
I'm all I need
I'm all I need
