November (makebeleive) Lyrics - Carbon Leaf

Board the windows, winterize...recess with my mind 

I have some in-between time...recess with my mind 

Quilt of voices, piecemeal scenes...shutters clack 

Hush. muffle time 

Painting of a different stream...recess with my mind 

Jack Frost taps the window sill 

William Tell atop the hill 

Dreaming arrows shoot the hay 

Autumn's color wheel will fade 

Stones thrown to blown spun glass...recess with my mind 

Re-invention. Nurture Past...recess with my mind 

Escape our Independence Day 

(Battle in decline) 

Correspondence won't relay...recess with my mind 

Redcoats raid the Raincoats' space 

Soul to storm upon each face 

Clouds with roving eyes set sail 

Cannon cottonballs of hail 

Autumn raged the skeleton trees 

Kings and queens and squires flee 

Chessboard battlements ablaze 

Battle photo bleached away 

Lonely with the company 

But when November calls me 

Creation melt my enemies 

Hibernation. Silencing 

Makebelieve 

Memory just short of what it could've been 

It didn't last, it went away 

Always knew it would. 

It's good to leave, it's sad to leave
