[Verse 1: Aaron Livingston]
|
Like when autumn leaves fall
|
Down from the trees
|
There goes my honey bee
|
I've lost a lot of sleep to dreams
|
And I do not miss them yet
|
I wouldn't wish them on than worst of enemies
|
Let them burn, go from here
|
Like when autumn leaves
|
|
[Verse 2: Black Thought]
|
To catch a thief, who stole the soul I prayed to keep
|
Insomniac, bad dreams got me losing sleep
|
I'm dead tired, my mind playing tricks, deceit
|
A face in the glass, unable to admit defeat
|
All that I am, all that I was is history
|
The past unraveled, adding insult to this injury
|
I'm fighting the battle for the soul of the century
|
Destiny is everything that I pretend to be
|
Look, and what I did came back to me eventually
|
The music played on, and told me I was meant to be awake
|
It's unresolved like everything I had at stake
|
Illegal activity controls my black symphony
|
Orchestrated like it happened incidentally
|
Oh, there I go, from a man to memory
|
Damn, I wonder if my fam will remember me
|

[Verse 3: Aaron Livingston]
|
I've lost a lot of sleep to dreams
|
And I do not miss them yet
|
I wouldn't wish them on the worst of enemies
|
Let them burn, go from here
|
Like when autumn leaves
