Lyrics

Deciduous

[Verse 1]

Honestly (Honestly)

I haven't been myself for three whole weeks

And this city gets me down

I wonder why it's always

Raining in my head (In my head)

I'll pitch my shelter in this bed

[Chorus]

I am deciduous

Dying with the change of seasons

I can feel the rush

Of cold air against my skin and

Wish I could be an evergreen

Wish I could see the changing of the leaves

Wish I could be an evergreen

Wish I could see the changing of the leaves

[Verse 2]

In time when the snow comes down

Time will freeze while

My demons come out

Suffocate in winter's breath

Dissipate all I have left

Below the surface, in spite of purpose

I'm trying to forget

I'm trying to forget

[Chorus]

I am deciduous

Dying with the change of seasons

I can feel the rush

Of cold air against my skin and

Wish I could be an evergreen

Wish I could see the changing of the leaves

Wish I could be an evergreen

Wish I could see the changing of the leaves

[Bridge]

(I am deciduous)

(I am deciduous) (I get by)

(I am deciduous)

I get by until the wind in my hair

(I am deciduous)

Starts to freeze and ensnare

Leaving me in despair

(I am deciduous)

I'm sick of feeling like I've got nothing left

Always stuck in my head

Fated to live with regret

[Outro]

(I am deciduous)

I get by until the wind in my hair

(I am deciduous)

Starts to freeze and ensnare

Leaving me in despair

(I am deciduous)

I'm sick of feeling like I've got nothing left

(I am deciduous)

Always stuck in my head

Fated to live with regret
