As old men in our mid-twenties, let's be rebellious, let's stay up past ten, let's put down the good ol' book we can't get away from, and denounce sleepy eyes. We'll give it up to reading outside the lines of our circumpolar stars, page-fold the space in-between and hold it out 'til dawn. Don't breathe here! Just wait... for the august of another sunrise.
A few maple leaves gently fall; It tells a soulful story: Maybe we've never really been standing on solid ground, Maybe we've started life tumbling like a peaceful yellow leaf, And maybe the world is completely upside down And if we really knew we were falling we'd call this life heaven finally breaking free of the suspension that never felt like home.
Goodbye: It's something beyond this life, something they all say takes time, but the fall knows this dark soul by name and illusions of the past insidiously circle back so many times before we die.
