When Autumn Leaves Fall

My leaves change colouring
They leave me wondering
Please leave me in the street
Don’t rake me out
Part 2: Tears Of A Warrior
So to everybody out there listening, let me propose a deal
Everything after now can be gone, I’ll give up my years
In exchange for all of the years that I lost
I’ll do whatever it takes, no matter the cost
'Cause I didn’t learn me a damn thing while I traveled this road
Silly me, so naive, I thought I’d learn everything as I get old
At least that’s what I was told, but that’s not what I was shown
Damn it, I should’ve known, but please tell me how could I know?
Either way, it’s too late
I can’t do the race, I gotta face
This life of mine
'Cause either way, it’s too late
I can’t do the race, I gotta face
This life of mine
I don’t have much time left here
But I promise to show no fear
Always mask away my tears
With every leaf, 'til I deplete
This warrior here won’t suffer defeat
Part 3: Ghost In The Machine
I’m a live wire in a dead world
Hear the cries higher as my head twirls
That dead world’s name is Autumn, or is it Fall?
But either way, it’s still haunting
These ideas, too sadistic for the peers
But when I’m no longer here, I know that they’re bound to hear
Every single tear from all the previous years, but they’ll still respond with
silence.
As if I’m out here wildin', when I’m just crying for help
Know that I can’t do this by myself, nothing else
Nothing left to lose, nothing left to gain
Lost me when I lost my everything
But despite no control of the ghost in the machine
I’m still trying, even as hopeless as it seems
God I hope you’re hearing me
Please be bold and intervene
Cause my soul needs to be free.
I see the past in your eyes
Drift by like rain clouds in the sky
Wondering how you can turn back time
Trying to leave your past behind
The rain that falls on your face
Washing away the tears that trace
I can’t see if I am a sacred place
Hidden in somewhere safe
So as you watch my leaves fall
Know I don’t have no fear at all
I’ve no fear of falling
My destiny’s calling
