lyrics

I pace myself on sidewalks
Crushing skeletons of leaves
Breathing in the essence of their release

Keep warm in your icy frame
The fire burns all around all those who claim
"I don't want to go just yet"

But it's gotten late enough, I guess
I can always relive this in my head over
And again

Nothing in this world is lasting
Everything here is worth grasping at

All too soon this will go away
And where we go, we'll make the best of our stay

Long straws are prolonged pauses
Drinking up what others made
Reaching out hands, emptied of all they've gained

The curse of the ever-wanting
They know not one true moment of peace

The branches that you will cling to
Won't let you know you're about to fall
Whether you're touching sunlight
Or catching scraps that speed down to you
Every plan subject to fail
Find my bones in stone and tell my tale
