about

I wrote this song as I was recording it, late at night, stream of consciousness. Just pressed record and, very quietly, layered on each sound and lyric as they popped into my head.

lyrics

I cannot see anything in my room
So very dark like a cold empty tomb
(leaves are growing in my own bed)

Leaves are growing, things are showing
Room is dark, lights turned out
Night is falling, leaves are falling
Very quiet, it's all over

You cannot hear
(take it down again) (my instruments are flowing)
You cannot know
(you know when it's well)(the gravity is showing)
Nothing is real
(take it down again)(my heart is slowly beating)
You are not here
(you know when it's well)(the temperature is heating)
You cannot heal
(take it down again, you know when it's well)

Leaves are growing, things are showing
Room is dark, lights turned out
