Leaves - Phish

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

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 conveyed the ruler’s word

You promised the moon

But I need a tune

For notes are rarely wrong

We built a kingdom out of lies

And then we blindly fanned the fires

We warmed our hands with glowing coals

But now they rain down from the skies

Rising volume muffles moans

Thoughts conveyed in undertones

We built a kingdom out of lies

The moonlight dances softly on the leaves

A message in the pattern that it weaves

It urges me now

It’s pleading somehow

Telling me to breathe

We built a kingdom out of lies

And then we blindly fanned the fires

We warmed our hands with glowing coals

But now they rain down from the skies

Rising volume muffles moans

Thoughts conveyed in undertones

We built a kingdom out of lies

The moonlight dances softly on the leaves

A message in the pattern that it weaves

It urges me now

It’s pleading somehow

Telling me to breathe

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe
