Fallen Leaves
by, Jenna Marie
*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
