K

You were a boy I knew in school
and the fall makes me think of you

I admired you from afar
and the fall makes me think of you

A smile that cured suburban blues
and the fall makes me think of you

You walked the streets just like me
and the fall makes me think of you

You died in the springtime
but the fall makes me think of you

You frequent my dreams
and still the fall makes me think of you

Don't speak to me in code,
Don't speak to me in symbols
Speak to me using words of emotion

I will hear you
I always hear you
I'm always aware

You're more alive today than ever
and the fall makes me think of you

I know when you are near
you bring the fall when I think of you

new song lyrics

Untitled as of right now. Any title suggestions are completely warranted.

The Carolinas are so old
I wonder about the soil there
As I toil through the day
That consists of nothing new

I want to do all the right things
Like not contribute to the system
So I don't own a car
And I don't buy stuff at the mall

Maybe in a year
I'll have a place in Baltimore
And let paintings of the sunsets
Unleash my steady bones

And if I walk off
Don't look beyond the sea
Leave me to discover
And sew what the future may reap

They have blinded us for centuries
But I don't mean to place blame
The recognition, it births action
And I am in the meadow, rising
