Walking Back - Spencer Radcliffe

I was walking back

Trying to find something I lost running in the tall grass

Like a needle in a stack

A tourist trap

Somewhere far off the beaten path

Using a memory as a map back there

Ah, you could feel the heat

Of a thousand breaths

A thousand tiny cries rising up begging for mercy sweet

Though I’d been gentle in my step

To the bugs below, I was a giant

I meant certain death

The unplanned violence of a quest laid bare

Oh, you could see the steam

Just up ahead and it must have been

It must have been from something that’s boiling beneath

And you could march up to the spring

When the fog is thick, you take a dip, no-one will see a thing

Split the bill, you keep the change
