lyrics

The days are growing shorter the trees shedding their leaves
They fall beneath my feet as I step without thinking
Into a field of dead and dried branches
Where the grass is high and the moon waits forever
Over parking lots like a soft glowing eye
That cries in the day for the long hours of night
Let the willow trees hang and blow in the wind
And never give them a second thought

In backyards forgot
I imagine myself
With you there beside me
True like the summer
Where we faded away and our skin lost its color
And all of these patterns begin to make me sick

And if fate is real then we live to serve it
And every thought that we have is all predetermined
We can never be free, only dripping sand
And to have any purpose was all self conceived
So I'll smoke till I'm sick in the room where I sleep
Lifted like high school in the park where we'd meet
We'd stay there all night thinning our blood
Looking for patterns in the sidewalk

I grip the grass with my hands
And stare at my feet
Let the echoes fill the house
Until they're all that i hear
Borrow words from a life
I used to know
I didn't think petals still fell in the spring

The poets all weep cause its hard to remember
When the days were the days and fall were the fall
So I keep to myself to stay safe from language
And only let myself have a pen and a song
I'll take the train to the water tomorrow
And think of a friend I wish I could call and say
Please don't lock yourself in your room
For so long you forget your name
No, please don't stay so far away
And forget you were ever here
