Eating the apples from all the wrong trees
Picking out worms one by one
This garden is big but it's too small for me
The games I play are losing their fun
Four billion years it took me just to see
I'm wrong and this whole world is right
But isn't it humbling and isn't it strange
In the darkest hour you see the most light
If I hate this night then I'll hold on tight
To the morning
Say all the things that you don't want to say
before they spill our in all the worst ways
But I can't deny that I'm so scared to die
I lock all the doors to this day
But my dreams reach high, they unfold my eyes
The dying leaves on this tree fall to the ground
and roll around
and laugh as the sky sings a song all about nothing
