The Shorter Path

God called down

To ask me where I was,

I told him I was leaving

And already gone.

I can't stay any longer

This place is just too white

My body is stained

With the scars of my life

The things that I've done
They haunt me at night

I'm off in search of respite

Away from the light

See, there's one last place in my heart

For the beauty in life

It's driving me home

To wrap me up tight
