Lyrics

When I was a kid the fate of the world was placed in the palm of my hand
Why'd you do that, now I’m always mad
You gave me your problems and you told me to solve ‘em
I tried my best, but now look at me, I’m a mess

Struggling to grasp that I survived past 17
There’s this philosophical issue concerning morality
Do they keep me on this earth, if it's nowhere I wanna be
Now they’re giving me a link to a telephone company

I’m leaving for the mossy mountains, I will surely get there if I try
No noise, no crowds just me around up in those foggy skies
I can stay there right until I die

Smiling at the thought of turning 63
Waking up crying, that’ll take half a century
Then I turn to my right, and there you are asleep
I’m scared that I could wake you if I only breathe

Take me to the mossy mountains, we’ll make furniture out of the stumps and logs
No walls, no roof, just you and me up in those foggy skies
We can stay there right until we die

You’ll watch the overgrowth consume me
Know my darkest thoughts, my worries
Tell me there’s no need to hurry
Hold my hand when things get blurry
And when we die I’ll haunt the hill, with your hand in mine
I will scare the kids who leave footprints and you will ask me why

We were told to fix your failures, all I want is peace
Apologising for your mistakes and generational greed
I will never understand how this dilemma fell on me
So now I spend my days hiding, watching from the trees

Forever roaming in the mossy mountains, protecting it from those who dare to climb
Humming songs with you along, grey skies turned to blue
I will always say I love you
In the mossy mountains I love you
