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.
