Leaves

[Verse 1]
The fall, golden, I want to keep it
Finally out, I can't just watch the slate clean itself
I probably just made a mess of what's left of myself
Slippery, steep, far from the tree
You know that I love you, I'm human, I bleed
I keep falling from truth, how are you still loving me
Comforts something I need and I can exhaust it
The more places I sleep the more I think I've lost it
Hold me down, root for me
An anchor in my chest, let's make that fucker deep
Golden ground caught in the winter heat
Beyond bounds I need to fly free
Beyond the trees

Leaves, fly away
Leaves, fly away
Leaves, fly away
Don't fly away
Leaves, fly away
Leaves, fly away

[Verse 2]
The fruit, I am obsessed with you, truth
I should keep digging my eyes can't leave what you produce
I'm tempted by jewels, essential but it's toxic
I want more than I can take, all shit
Dust and ground at your feet
Come play your hand and I bet a roots dying to drink
Holding down, caught in the winter heat
Beyond bounds I need to fly free
Beyond the trees
Sometimes I feel so done, I've made it my final escape
Did I do something wrong?
Hurting you flying away
Miles and miles, piles of mistakes
Up like a kite don't fly away
Leaves have a tendency to get carried away
