The leaves are changing color, They’re falling to the ground Everything is dying, Without a whisper, without a sound And I’m here crying Cause the world as I know it is burning And there’s no saving it
I look out from my attic window At the world below These people are unaffected, I would suppose They cannot feel it, they cannot see That the world I’ve known is coming to an end And in its demise it’s taken my false security
It’s all burning in wild flames now, My little, perfectly constructed world
I have no other choice now but to take an unknown path Cause what’s behind me is gone And I won’t look back, I’ll use these ashes as soil To plant my broken heart in So it can mend, So it can grow past all it’s current limitations Cause I’ve learned this before-- Worlds inevitably get torn apart But if you’d just make it through the wreckage You’d find new life beyond all the death, You’d find the green meadow beyond the smoldering aftermath.
