The leaves will fall
And so will you
When you do, bury me under them too
Seconds pass, we'll make it through
Eventually we all go home
It won't be long
It won't be long

We walk along the wire tied between horizons
You close your eyes like it's nothing at all
Throughout the rise and fall, everything, everything
Changes, I will be here when you die

It won't be long
It won't be long
Until we find our way home

Did you hear the trumpets play the day your father died?
Did a violin swell those circles under your eyes?
Did you play the part straight, like a marcher?
Get lost in the beat, thinking and feeling
Did the drums in the streets make the people dance?
Or fall to their knees as the sound?
Knock the leaves from the trees
As they fall from the branch, the look beautiful
As they hung in the air

Spinning around
Did you float in the air?
Spinning around

There must be somewhere that cigarettes burn through the night
And the leaves don't abandon their trees to the light
Where the skies always clear
And the summer never ends

Won't you take me there?

The leaves will fall
So will you
When you do, bury me
Under them too
Seconds pass; we'll make it through

Eventually we all are going home

    I'm sorry that is so wrong.

    The leaves will fall And so will you When you do, bury me under them too Seconds pass, we'll make it through Eventually we all go home

    It wont be long…it won’t be long

    I live with a girl whos been waiting seven months now til they bring home her baby This war was paying for school. They shipped him over now he scatters on the frontlines He swore he would follow his conscience. But done the wrong way follows his orders instead When he shoots, he sings this song. But he doesnt know that she's been singing it too

    It wont be long It won’t be long til they find their way home.

    We walk along the wire Tied between horizons You close your eyes like its nothing at all Throughout the rise and fall everything, everything changes I will be here when you die.

    Did you hear the trumpets play the day your father died? Did the violin swell those circles under your eyes? Did you play the parts straight like a marcher Or did you get lost in the beat, thinking and feeling? Did the drums in the street make the people dance or fall to their knees from the sound Now the leaves from the tree's they fall from the branch They look beautiful as they hung in the air Spinning around Did you float in the air. Spinning around.

    There must be somewhere that cigarettes burn through the night. The leaves don’t abandon their trees to the light. Where the skies always clear, and the summer never ends. Won’t you take me there?

    The leaves will fall And so will you When you do, bury me under them too Seconds pass, we'll make it through Eventually, we all are going home

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
