Lyrics to Leaves

[Verse 1]

Someone's always telling me to breathe

The wind is always whispering through the leaves

It sings to the world

They cling to the world

I listen and believe



[Verse 2]

The music stops and echoes linger on

(The secret to the kingdom was conferred)

I'm waiting 'til you sing me one more song

(The messenger revealed the ruler's—)

You promised the moon

But I need a tune

For notes are rarely wrong



[Chorus]

We built a kingdom out of lies

And then we blindly fanned the fire

We warmed our hands with glowing coals

But now they rain down from the skies

Rising volume, muffled moans

Thoughts conveyed in undertones

We built a kingdom out of lies



[Verse 3]

Moonlight dances softly on the leaves

(Moonlight dances softly on the leaves)

A message in the pattern that it weaves

(Message in the pattern that it weaves)

It urges me now

It's pleading somehow

Telling me to breathe



[Instrumental Break]



[Chorus]

We built a kingdom out of lies

And then we blindly fanned the fire

We warmed our hands with glowing coals

But now they rain down from the skies

Rising volume, muffled moans

Thoughts conveyed in undertones

We built a kingdom out of lies



[Verse 4]

Moonlight dances softly on the leaves

(Moonlight dances softly on the leaves)

A message in the pattern that it weaves

(A message in the pattern that it weaves)

It urges me now

It's pleading somehow

Telling me to breathe



[Outro]

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe
