[Verse 1] Oh my friend, how long will this hillside climb? Each step’s a shadow, fading out of time The sky is silent, the path won’t show Where the weary souls are meant to go [Verse 2] Something’s rolling down, echo through the haze An orange from yesterday, lost in the haze Falling from the heavens, circling back to me In this spiral hill of strange gravity [Chorus] I’m so tired, my body won’t obey Feet like anchors, dreams decay Go ahead, my friend, don’t wait for me I’ll lie with the echoes beneath the tree [Verse 3] Every breath is heavier than the last The daylight sinks, the shadows cast Still the hill ascends, devouring the view I keep asking why, but no answer breaks through [Bridge] Maybe at the top, a kingdom wide Maybe just another hill on the other side But I won’t chase the ghosts that never speak So leave me here, let the dark set me free [Chorus] I’m so tired, my body won’t obey Feet like anchors, dreams decay Go ahead, my friend, don’t wait for me I’ll sing to the silence beneath the tree [Bridge] La-la-la… (drenched in reverb, fading slow) Rolling orange, haunting me La-la-la… set me free [Outro] Rolling orange, haunting me Set me free… Set me free… The long hill… carries on.
