From the cradle to the grave

Destined to break like the waves

Existence is so threateningIt takes a fierce grace to crack us open

A moment sat with our sentencing

And the light comes flooding in

Oh, the light comes flooding in

When the leaves fall in the spring

May all the beggars be blessed

Like angels with anhedonia

We′re all just doing our best

Repeating, "There's nothing left"

That′s why we weed out the wonderers

Maybe there's virtue in emptiness

But I still drown in distress

When the leaves fall in the spring

With the ravens here to stay

And the doves all flying away

Sedation feels so welcoming

In the subtle space, there's an endless ocean

But the devils sing and it′s deafening

What a world we′re living in

Oh, we're never listening

When the leaves fall in the spring

May all the beggars be blessed

Like angels with anhedonia

We′re all just doing our best

Repeating, "There's nothing left"

That′s why we weed out the wonderers

Maybe there's virtue in emptiness

But I still drown in distress

When the leaves fall in the spring

I′ve got a lot to lose, but I won't lie to you

And make believe sincerity, I'm praying for a remedy

Beloved distant blue, one day I′ll die for you

And swim in sweet serenity ′cause death is not my enemy

I've got a lot to lose, but I won′t lie to you

And make believe sincerity, I'm praying for a remedy

Beloved distant blue, one day I′ll die for you

And swim in sweet serenity 'cause death is not my enemy
