Releaf

(album: Juniors - 2022)

Warming light
Swallowtails before my eyes
Rising fog
In a fragrant daybreak
Blooming lies
That nothing dies (You know you won't)
And we're beside
The cold and swollen lake

Find relief while holed up within the arms of your mother
Rise the April moon
Like a leaf unfolding its skin to be with the others
I will grow with you

Everlight
Flaming bright before my eyes
Paradise
In a listless swelter
Hard and dry
To realize (I know you won't)
Burning nights
Are the ones you've long awaited

Find relief while submerged within the bounty of summer
Rise the August moon
Like a leaf that's bold in the sun that beats like a drummer
I'll float over you

Then the chill is taking hold
Brown and bowing flowers teach you truths you've always known:
All that's red and gold will go

You'll find relief while holed up within the arms of a lover
Rise the waning moon
Like a leaf still holding the limb and giving you cover
I'll be going soon
I'll be going soon
