lyrics

So easily ignored,
So needed by us all,
Carried on the breeze,
Like a spent leaf a-fallin'

To drift aimlessly to a slow motion end
Driftin' senselessly to a slow motion end

A shame to forget,
To whom we owe this debt,
Born of ash and returned anew,
That old spent leaf a-fallin' that once held the dew

Driftin' aimlessly towards a slow motion end,
Driftin' senselessly to a slow motion end,

The air is cooler down by the creek,
Where it bends through the hollow
In the midst of July's jealous heat,
My muddy dreams of tomorrow

He who pays the piper calls the tune,
The abandoned faces sing the blues,
Eyes filled with desperation like a wildflower trying to bloom

Triumphantly for a slow motion end
I said defiantly through a slow motion end

Best I can figure the shade is winning,
And I was born tired,
Until the madness quits its spinning,
I'll walk through the fire

The air is cooler down by the creek,
Where it bends through the hollow
In the midst of July's jealous heat,
My muddy dreams of tomorrow

And by first light of everyday,
Again this old heart finds new ways to break,
Every ache in every brittle bone will cry out for freedom,
To end all this bleedin'

I just don't want to be lied to...
