lyrics
So where did you all go
as my summer fled from autumn years
and left me all alone
on my window sill, with cups of tea
that tasted just like cinnamon-laced defeat?
Well, maybe it was me.
Trees lie about grief
they make dying seem
beautiful like falling flames of leaves.
What was lost for us
can never be retrieved
that's why there is no comfort in the trees. (x2)
I felt that once I let you leave
into the misty realms of memory
with no way to retrieve
the treasures that we hid in brighter days
I found new love for conquering worlds within.
Now, let the fall begin...
