Autumn Leaves

Emotionless pale face Cried again today Don’t worry it’s nothing new Clouds bring raindrops Wet her bare feet up The grass tears turn to dew Slow pace Lightweight Heartache Snowflakes Staring up at the moon Beautiful girl In her beautiful world But beauty leaves so soon Autumn leaves die When winter comes by Summer birds fly away Just like beauty Just like youth it Will always slowly fade That’s what we’re afraid of Hide every bit don't take the mask off Leads herself towards the center of the forest Black thorns prick her under roses Even though it’s difficult She’ll hurt to be beautiful Timing timing see it turning I’m running running away Timing timing see it ticking Can I stop and stay Hopeful bright face Smiling all day Happiest she’s been all week Sun brought daylight Running around the whole time With grass under her bare feet Fast pace Red face Bright cheeks Heart race Staring at herself Imperfect girl In a strange big world Happiest she’s ever felt Autumn leaves die When winter comes by Summer birds fly away Let them roam free Maybe you’ll see A little more to what’s inside Leads herself towards the center of the forest Plain leaves never looked so perfect It’s not so difficult When you don’t have to be beautiful Timing timing see it turning I’m sitting watching it sway Timing timing see it ticking Here I stop and stay
