lyrics

Warm like Spring now
With Autumn blues.
The pewter sky hides
The light that brought the blooms.

I'm kind of halfway smiling,
Keeping my true thoughts to the shade.
Take the leaves to the ground
And sweep me away.
Holding on for better days.

Older now and beaming like a child.

Christmas morning.
Don't know what I got but I'll make do.
Like a real youth-
Kingdoms of sand and sword fights in the yard.
Why I hate you-
Something of nothing was never good enough.
I'm still breathing
But God knows things just get so hard sometimes.

Who's to blame for my weak eyes?
Warm like Spring and Autumn leaves still burn as bright.

Thrive!

I'm kind of halfway happy,
Open my true heart to the sky.
Take the leaves to the ground
And watch me thrive.
