Collecting Leaves

[INTERLUDE]

We're just wasting away,
Waiting for the trees to bloom,
...I'm waiting for you to bloom,
Here on my hands and knees,
Waiting for you.

[TRANSITION]

Hate me, I don't want you to hold back,
Leave me alone to find my way out,
I can't make it out alive when dying is the only remedy,
I can't even scream when all the signs are pointing right back,
No one seems to hear my voice but you,
Enter my everlasting silence and erase my dreams,
Leave me with nothing to call you when I bleed.

So hate me, with your hopeless punch backs,
Leave me, I don't need to go back,
Love me, when you find your way out,
Down on my hands and knees,
I'm collecting leaves before the world falls down.

Hate me, I don't want you to hold back,
Lie to me and tell me this is not the only way out,
Convince me to believe your sorrows,
Because I know now that the signs are pointing right back,
No one seems to hear my voice but you,
No one can erase my dreams and leave me with silence,
Can't you tell?
This is why I'm bleeding.

'Cause I won't change,
I won't change your mind,
This is the place that no one knows about us,
This is the pain that I will give up for us,
And it's where our tears seem to grow,
Sprouting up and collecting fallen leaves.

And hate me, with your soulless punch backs,
Leave me, I don't need to go back,
Love me, when you find your way out,
Down on my hands and knees,
I'm collecting leaves before the world falls down.

Hate me, with your hopeless punch backs,
Leave me, I don't need to go back,
Love me, when you find your way out,
Down on my hands and knees,
I'm collecting leaves before the world falls down.

[OUTRO]

We're just wasting away,
Waiting for the trees to bloom,
...I'm waiting for you to bloom,
Here on my hands and knees,
Waiting for you.
