Autumn Leaves

She looks through the magazine

Determines her self-worth

Flips through the photographs

Remembers her birth

And she can't hide behind the glass door

And she's afraid she'll break

Shattered on the floor

She's scribbled herself

A mess out of ink

While books are black and white

She'll read you in the grey

Chorus:

She says

Someday I'll be free

From these autumn leaves

I'll come clean

I'll be free

She fades in morning light just like her dreams

All of which seem worthless

She's useless

She's utterly hopeless

And she cries herself to sleep

In moonlight

Bathed in moon beams

Moon shadows that hang above her bed

And while blue skies wander

There's lightning in her head

Chorus:

She says

Someday I'll be free

From these autumn leaves

I'll come clean

I'll be free

She looks through the magazine

Determines her self-worth

She says

Chorus:

She says

Someday I'll be free

From these autumn leaves

I'll come clean

I'll be free
