Payment of the Leaves Lyrics

They think that they're done

But they've only begun

The crystals will rock

The spirits for fun

A thunderous roar

Like the earth it did snore

A trembling that I could not ignore

The only words that I hear

Zip right out of your mouth

And shatter everything that's near

The fluorescent light broke

Which buzzes like a lightening stroke

Crackling in the sky

Crackling in the sky

Crackling in the sky

You like to rock and roll

The time it takes it's toll

The fee it's not for free

A payment of the leaves

You like to rock and roll

The time it takes it's toll

The fee it's not for free

A payment of the leaves

A payment of the leaves

A payment of the leaves

Trusting my life

In the hands of another

Steam rolled my skin into feathers

The walls are my cage

Watching as the silent apprentice

Who I'm not really impressed with

Waits

The bars have been here for awhile now

She tries to ignore them

And begins to adore them

A man made prison in her head

She realizes she's hungry

And never been fed

Not fed with life

Only what's cut with a knife

Not fed with life

Only what's cut with a knife

Not fed with life

Only what's cut with a knife

You like to rock and roll

The time it takes it's toll

The fee it's not for free

A payment of the leaves

You like to rock and roll

The time it takes it's toll

A fee it's not for free

A payment of the leaves

A payment of the leaves

A payment of the leaves

Iridescent whispers

On a dark and gloomy day

Boom a rang your bow and arrow

Return it to you

I'm sorry

With our conscience awake

Bearing all our souls can take

Like pebbles in the dirt, I rake

A tree was intrigued

Asking what "wood" you do

The con is the sum

Of what we consume

The con is the sum

Of what we consume

The con is the sum

Of what we consume

You like to rock and roll

The time it takes it's toll

The fee it's not for free

A payment of the leaves

You like to rock and roll

The time it takes it's toll

A fee it's not for free

A payment of the leaves

A payment of the leaves

A payment of the leaves
