Leonids Lyrics by Leaf Plant

what was i supposed to do?

2021

[Verse 1]
We autumn kids, Leonids
Weave our weakness into wishes
When will we fall ablaze?
Legit misfits afraid to hit the pavement
Starstruck, best of luck, kind of insane
We stay adrift upon an ocean
Fishing for explosions
Hoping chemicals compose
The next masterpiece
If only...

[PreChorus 1]
Those endless stairs
In our nightmares
Like a signal from the sky
To express what we want
There’s so much more to say, I’m scared
I’ll never share what ordinary thoughts
Were killing me

[Chorus 1]
Don’t be so sorry
We burn too brightly

[Breakdown]
One sleepless season starts again
We’ll meet above the meteors
Cross the bridge between the stars
Remind me why I need to play guitar

[Verse 2]
Don’t forget you ever heard these
Absurdly wordy sadboi knaves
(Yo, whassup?)
You can call us your companions
Stand upon behemoth waves

{Prechorus 2]
We autumn kids, living cryptids
Hellbound homies
Warm lionhearts, try and carve memento mori
Our anxious minds
Connected by

[Chorus 2]
Loudspeaker lifelines
Together we ride

[Breakdown]
One sleepless season starts again
We’ll meet above the meteors
Cross the bridge between the stars
Remind me why I need to play guitar

[Bridge]
So, go be alone
Fight the goddamn good fight
Listen for a voice from way up high
Saying “self-destruct and redefine”

[Instrumental Break: Faye Valentine & Spike Spiegel]
And now you’re leaving, just like that
Why do you have to go?
Where are you going?
What are you going to do?
Just throw your life away like it was nothing?
I’m not going there to die
I’m going to find out if I’m really alive
I have to do it, Faye

[Coda]
I won’t just vanish!
(Now)
I’m wandering here, a ghost in your ears
Howling proudly
Flames of my soul
Swallow me whole
Can I commit to this
Way to exist
Chasing this bliss?
A long lost love we seek
The Muses decree
That for me to be free—
I’m so damn sorry…
