You fell through the leaves
Betrayed by their cover
Bare branches leave no shade
And, the ground swelled
Beneath your dirty knees
Made fools of us all
Caught in the why
Lost in the how
Mired in the truth of burdens acquired
You close your eyes in soft surrender
Clouds full of flames
Vacant of mercies
A verse for every tragedy
And, the pious remains of the fortunetellers
Forlorn dirges sang
Damned are shamed
The hollow remains
Of empty words lost on the vane
They close their eyes
No sleep for the pretenders
La da da da da
La da da da da
La da da dum
La da da dum
La da da dum
La da da dum dum dum
When the sky empties
And the smolder dies
And the blooms from the fireweed stretch tall
And cover us all
(La da da da da) We'll walk through the fields
(La da da da da) And shed all our skins
(La da da da da) We'll walk through the fields
(La da da da da) New light on our skins
It's only me that walks the edge
My head is in the stars again
A lost satellite in flight
Alone and I am fine
La da da da da
La da da da da
