Lyrics Leaves on Parade - Driveways

Leaves on Parade

She said come out and look at the leaves on parade
They flooded the sky
But you know I can’t wait for the season to change
We’re just watching them die
When I peeled back the layers and looked at the truth
I saw what I feared
Just a person that can’t comprehend the abuse
That pretends not to hear you now
The colors looks beautiful
Red and yellow rivers in the street
But to them it’s a funeral
There’s death in the deceit
I’m not worth it
You can’t fall back now
I’m imperfect
My failures could bury me under the ground
A long ride home
An October view
And I know you miss the mountainside
The foliage is out tonight
And dying to look beautiful for you
I wish I wouldn’t break
An evergreen that winter couldn’t shake
I tend to dream and miss it when I wake
If ketamine could fix it I would take
A fistful every day
RIP to Smith inside his grave
Between the Bars I wish that I could stay
Imprisoned with the blame
An unresolved condition I should face
The foliage is different in the rain
The colors looks beautiful
Red and yellow rivers in the street
But to them it’s a funeral
There’s death in the deceit
I’m not worth it
You can’t fall back now
I’m imperfect
My failures could bury me under the ground
A long ride home
An October view
And I know you miss the mountainside
The foliage is out tonight
And dying to look beautiful for you
She said come out and look at the leaves on parade
They flooded the sky
But you know I can’t wait for the season to change
We’re just watching them die
I’m not worth it
You can’t fall back now
I’m imperfect
My failures could bury me under the ground
A long ride home
An October view
And I know you miss the mountainside
The foliage is out tonight
And dying to look beautiful for you
Hold it together
I’m fading away
I’m painted in shades of decay
I’m turning cold with the weather
There’s a light at the end
I brace for my final descent
Feels like October Forever
The colors expose
The end of a struggle that broke you down
I should have told you how
I’m over the terror
I’m part of it now
