Autumn of the World

Got a message from a friend who I would never see again

Said she loved me, hoped I’m doing well

Well, I was busy, dropped the ball, the next day I got the call

Where my friend had gone it’s hard to tell

Oh, where my friend had gone it’s hard to tell

Oh, what am I to do when my friends decide to use?

We’re all grown, I’m only one man’s mom

But it tears the world apart as it sedates your precious heart

And every day could be the one you’re gone

Oh, every day could be the one you’re gone

So here’s a song for the sad ones

Those of us who cannot stay away

From the edges of existence

Who’s flame, it burns too bright for it to stay

Who’s flame, it burns too bright for it to stay

Well, how can I do my best, with this whale upon my chest

We’re both drowning in the ocean of my tears

And I expect of you what I have never hoped to do

Solve those problems that are products of my fears

Those problems that are products of my fears

So here’s a song for the sad ones

Those of us who cannot stay away

From the edges of existence

Who’s flame, it burns too bright for it to stay

Who’s flame, it burns too bright for it to stay

It’s the Autumn of the world, and I am just a frightened girl

We’re all here, but who knows for how long

And like the leaves we fall, oh like the trees we lose it all

And every day could be the one we’re gone

Oh, every day could be the one we’re gone

So here’s a song for the sad ones

Those of us who cannot stay away

From the edges of existence

Who’s flame, it burns too bright for it to stay

Who’s flame, it burns too bright for it to stay

Who’s flame, it burns too bright for it to stay

Who’s flame, it burns too bright for it to stay
