watch me come to life

in a place darker than strife

 

watch me go blue

as I fall onto you

 

watch me climb a tree

as I look down my knee

 

watch me not make it to the top

where then I feel I should hop

down to where the impossible is reality

so I can escape to a world only I can see

where all my past memories can fade

down by the shadows in the shade
