When I was just a little boy
From a broken family
You came into my life
And showed me how to be
All alone
I ran to the wilderness to get away
My sanity sometimes calls me back
To a place I once called home
But I know now is not my own
My fickle heart
The leaves on the cold ground
And stars in the sky
The psithurism in the air
On a careless mountain side
Takes me home
So I sit now and dream of things
Alcohol and roses for the king
And reminisce on you a bit
And watch the leaves fall 'till they hit
The cold soft ground
And I wonder if you're around
I took a walk to the river bed
And I skipped rocks until my mind was clear
Every wave of memories
Downs me in a deadly thought
This I fear
The night I drank 'till I could not see
Your face anymore
I hurt myself and said "you win"
As star light reflects of my blood
On the floor
I hold back tears as I lay down
In this need of green I've made
I could end my pain right now
Promise me that I'm still sane
Please don't lie
Sitting beneath the maple tree
With my wedding ring next to me
I give the world one last fake smile
Here I will sit and rest a while
I close my eyes
