Trees in Autumn
02:59
|
|||
|
Bare are the trees in winter
Skeletons with blankets of snow
Breaking in the ice
Crying till it goes
There was a time they were full
Green in their dignity and pride
Bodies for their frames
That now they cannot hide
But you could say there’s beauty in dying
A certain kind of grace in death
The passionate fire of harvest
The smell of nostalgia in its breath
I gave into your love
Melting as a candle holds a flame
How I made you warm
As you watch me fade
I am like the trees in autumn
My value is in what I hold
Ephemeral they fall away
And again in the winter I’m exposed

A Retelling

I am who you say I am
Who that is I dare not put to words
You give me smoke till I gag
Dissolve into your haze till I’m a blur
Then I am alone and filled with rage
A wildfire that smothers me to death
The crackling echoes your name
Who are you to get inside my head?
Who are you?
And when at last I go to leave
The wildfire is drowning from the rain
Wash away myself so I can breathe
That is how I know I’m not just what you say

Disappointment

Disappointment’s a bitter taste
Never gone
Kissing dreams goodbye
They go on and on, on and on
They go on and on
I will try, I will try
Again tomorrow
I will try, I will try
Again tomorrow

The Sum of These Parts

I am more than any one thing
More than the sum of these parts
See all the good in my heart
I will love all that I was
All that I am
All that I will become
And love all that I was
All that I am
All that I will become
And
We are more than any one thing
More than the sum of these parts
See all the good in our hearts
We will love all that we were
All that we are
All that we will become
And love all that we were
All that we are
All that we will become
And
You are more than any one thing
More than the sum of these parts
See all the good in your heart
You will love all that you were
All that you are
All that you will become
And love all that you were
All that you are
All that you will become
I will love all that you were
All that you are
All that you will become
Love all that you were
All that you are
All that you will become
And

Footprints

Footprints through the snow
Tell us where we’ve been
But they cannot tell you
The ways we move within
The weather’s getting cold
Bundle in your coats
Cover up your heads with hats
And bring your gloves in tow
Yeah winter is here
The first snow of the year
We go out to walk and talk
Our hearts grow warm and near
Everything is white
Glimmers in the light
Could I ever walk upon
A thing so pure and bright?
Look forward and see
All that it could be
And when I walk behind I find
I’ve shared a part of me
Footprints through the snow
Tell us where we’ve been
But they cannot tell you
The ways we move within
