to knowingly go

to knowingly go
i must surrender to his twilight
this constant silence i cannot fight
still in pain i fear my mind
my body
	my soul
		it's hard to find
to find this peace that i once knew
a piece of me lost in his hue
i must surrender to his twilight

i fight
	i fight
		i fight his night
the blue, green light that lies ahead
i must
	i must
		confront this dread
i must surrender to his twilight

to find my peace and hold it tight
i must
	i must
		i must leave tomorrow

inch-tall i stand in his narrow Shadow
for now, he must undoubtedly know

that into the woods alone
	i must knowingly go!
