So, the leaves outside my window teach me everything I ever need to know. All the seasons change, and those summer days do quickly turn to snow. We're all born up on these branches that our fathers' hands have planted; grow up beautiful and strong, but see it doesn't last too long, so we dream of higher places to alleviate and brace us for the Fall. But I don't need it, you can keep your golden pavement. I have seen my true reflection in this world of imperfections. I don't need it, you can keep your pearly gates 'cause when I go I plan to go back where I started -- plant my body in the garden where the flowers grow. Yes, I know I don't need new destinations, I am happy with this place that I call home. All the ones who came before us have been shed to make room for us, they've all moved into the dusk and now the world, she moves with us. Every passing generation is the fade that takes us to the morning sun. So I'm not wasting all my money throwing pennies into wells and I'm not acting on the basis that I make it somewhere else. No, I'm not living in that fear no more.

The sidewalk cracks That trip me up They're everywhere They're everyone Wanderlust And summer sun We're on the ropes We're on the run She brushes up Against my cheek Her lilac breath Slips through her teeth Words that catch Like gasoline She rubs my back Along the seam Something's changed in me I'm more inspired than I used to be The lights are making plans to dance Across our tongues, across our hands And as we watch, we come undone By the glowing threads we've spun Holed within And hold without Our whole escape Is figured out Follow me Into the clouds They're on our tail They're coming down Telegrams And polaroid We've made a mess We're making noise And if we break Our ghostly poise We'll say we're friends We have no choice Something's changed in me I'm more inspired, and I'm losing sleep The lights are making plans to dance Across our tongues, across our hands And as we watch, we come undone It all makes sense and you're the one Holding me down Holding me down

I'm only halfway listening to the rain outside these walls I got high above the clouds and watched it fall beneath me But here's the part that's most upsetting, as it trickles down below I find comfort in the sound, so I let it flood my home Autumn brings precipitation and wind that chills my bones I hear it whistle familiar songs of my routine regression Another spineless September, another winter spent alone... To hibernate in bitter silence and dream of what could have been I left my heart in the shadow of summer Somewhere underneath December's snows Cold as the wind it blows I left my soul in a distant summer But I just don't know where my garden grows Or where my river flows Barren branches and hollow trees, how beautifully they once bloomed I'm brittle as the fallen leaves beneath my feet without you Now I'm haunted by this weather, the grey skies that once were blue Cause leaves are meant to lose their colors, Oh, but I was evergreen with you How was I meant to lose you too? I left my heart in the shadow of summer Somewhere underneath December's snows Cold as the wind it blows I left my soul in a distant summer But I still don't know where my garden grows Or why my river flows Because I've been in love maybe once or twice It's a mistake I'll be making again So I have something better than complacency to complain about But with every blizzard I become more embittered Until I can hardly stroke a flame Each snowflake's a little different But when you're under the weather it's just all the same I've been dreaming of days past this winter's end, But until then, don't wake me.

You've been crashing you car I don't mind the walk You've been taking your time and your clothes off Wandering blind, hoping to find Some peace of mind Well, you can have mine And I could call out every fish In the puke-green sea, So don't tempt me I swear to god, and curse his name I'll kick my broken legs or find a drain I could empty the whole damn thing So don't tempt me Holding an empty plate When salad days rot away I need closure, I'm sure, or some time off Cause lady luck, and time in the sun Have all but burned up I just want peace of mind That I can call mine I'll be at the dock Just trying to give a fuck

it's still here and i just crumble when i'm touched words fall on deaf ears the coast is old and not enough you can't ignore this beauty the mountains drop off to the beach but underneath doesn't fool me you're not exactly what you seem All the places i remember aren't the same as they used to be and i've been trying since december to deny who I refuse to be from on top of the world you've never felt so fake i think i figured it out the place you are is what you make so bring me where you want me i know it's not quite for my sake but i need to get out of this gilded state you don't expect to feel empty when you've been filled up so much and no one thinks that they're ready but everyone knows how to love i've taken everything for granted and it hurts to try to be who you want me to try and get back up and learn and all the times that i feel broken i wish i could have a little more time and i know my glass is stained so tell me that its okay to be proud of it's shine three months and a year and i'll be back to dig my grave if the sun calmed me down i would have made my way past may yeah i guess i've changed i haven't always been this way and i need to get out of this gilded state.
