Written by：Samuel T. Herring/Gerrit Welmers/William Cashion

Been a long time in a low place
深陷低谷已久
Surrounded by what I have made
被自己造就的一切包围
Need to get away
需要逃离
Get away from what relates
逃离那些牵绊
And what was done
逃离过往种种
Cuz it's all over now
因为都已结束
Through the woods I come running to loose leaf
穿越丛林奔向飘零落叶
And carve my name
刻下我的名字
In the lines there's not a trace
字里行间寻不到痕迹
I hear the ghost whisper and those old eyes watching me
幽灵低语 古老目光注视着我
But I feel safe
但我感到安心
Grandfather looking over me
祖父的守护笼罩着我
He said
他说
Don't make them wait
别让他们久等
Gotta go a long way
前路漫漫需远行
Let's be brave
让我们勇敢前行
Don't make them wait
别让他们久等
Nah don't make them wait
不 别让他们久等
I sat down with a coffee on my bent knee
我屈膝而坐 手捧咖啡
Looking out at the burnt land looking back at me
望着焦土回望我
These used to be green crops
这里曾是青翠农田
And high on a summer breeze
夏风轻拂麦浪翻
No it's fallow fields and clear cut barren ***
如今只剩荒芜田地 砍伐殆尽的***
They said that if I stared
他们曾说若我凝视
The abyss would stare back at me
深渊也在凝视着我
And so I did
而我亦然
And I felt it slowly creep in me
感受它渐渐侵蚀我心
Save for the smoke that danced when I took a drag
唯有吞吐间升腾的烟雾在起舞
It made me think about the way it all came to be
让我思索这一切如何成形
Grandma watching over me
祖母在天之灵守护着我
And she said
她轻声叮咛
Don't make them wait
别让他们久等
Gotta go a long way
前路漫漫需远行
Let's be brave
让我们勇敢前行
Shouldn't them wait
不该让他们久等
Nah don't make them wait
不 别让他们久等
Don't make them wait nah nah nah nah
别再让他们苦苦等候
Don't make them wait
别让他们久等
I hear the ghost whisper
我听见幽灵低语
And those old eyes watching me
那些古老的目光正注视着我
But I feel safe
但我感到安心
I feel safe
我感到安心
