lyrics

I see the first leaf turning on a late August morning, like a burning red beacon to the upcoming season. The rest are sure to follow, but change can happen so slow; or so it seems as days pass, 'til all at once it's different fast. You wonder, where did time go? This is always how it feels, though. When it's all exposed to see, leaves falling off the trees, and undressed skeletons so bare. What keeps them standing there? We look unlike them but we feel the same. Trying to stand tall with just our names. Until we get cut down or rot away, as if we've nothing left to do or to say. Meanwhile others come and go, climbing or swinging on our tired bones, and staying only long enough to carve their mark into our tattooed skin. It must be thick as bark. But when we're all exposed to see, trying to bare scars with dignity, underneath just skeletons remain. What keeps them strong through all this pain?
