Fallen Leaves

Fallen Leaves

*Forgive my voice. It's no Grammy Award winner I know (there's a reason I'm a violinist and not a part of a choir), but I thought the lyrics had to be put to music to really appreciate it. Also, please note that there are many out of tune notes and the background music was a last minute composition, so it's not exactly perfect nor professional recording material (I am very sorry for any mistakes that may have occurred. They're still kind of bothering me, not going to lie, but it was so painstaking to record and I/'m too lazy to do it again, so here goes)*

The leaves are gold this time of year

There’s nothing dark, nothing to fear

My mental walls are broken down

Before I know it I’m prepped to drown

‘Cause the leaves are bound to fall eventually

And when they fall they leave you cold and bare

With each drop feelings are freed from me

This time I’ll build my walls stronger I swear

But the leaves are gold this time of year

And there’s nothing dark, nothing to fear

I hang onto this golden rope

I hang on until I choke

For the leaves are bound to fall eventually

And when they fall they leave you cold and bare

Forevermore I shall be free

No more cycles of endless despair

For I’ve been fooled time and time again

That autumn will not ever end

But every time I’ve come to hold it dear

The leaves all fall and winter’s here

Well the leaves are gold this time of year

But there’s something dark, something to fear

For the leaves will fall down after all

I can’t trust them anymore
