Jack The Lantern Lyrics by The Hearkening

Lightyears Ago

2020

[Verse 1]
Hollow me out, forge my mouth and my eyes
(Mouth and my eyes)
Carve into my skin, meant to be set aflame inside
(Set aflame inside)
To scare away my enemies until my fire dies
(Until my fire dies)
Couldn’t replace the sunshine, but I was placed right under the dim porch light
(That’s right)
A lovely sight, burning bright and cut to look nice, if only for a night
But now I'm blackened with ash
Deteriorating as the seasons pass
Now I’m just part of your past
[Pre-Chorus]
I once burned for you
But how could I last?
Has my purpose been served?
How long ‘til I pass?
[Chorus]
Swarm of autumn leaves
I let you down
Like the deadened trees
That held you until you fell out
Swarm of autumn leaves
You wore me out
Like the deadened trees
That held you once, but let you down
[Refrain]
Patch me up but I’m not doing fine
Moving slowly at the speed of light
Fighting for time but in need of a sign
Not invited inside on the coldest of nights
[Verse 2]
Planted a seed that would grow into a vine, never knew the price
Harvested only to thrive, but picked out from the patch
So now I’m rotting alive, I used to be held intact
It all happened too fast
I once yearned for you
But you’ve blown out the match
I was perfectly burned
We were perfectly matched
[Chorus]
Swarm of autumn leaves
I let you down
Like the deadened trees
That held you until you fell out
Swarm of autumn leaves
You wore me out
Like the deadened trees
That held you once, but let you down
[Chorus 2]
World of deadened trees
You let me down
Into the autumn breeze
That carried me far from the ground
World of autumn leaves
You wore me out
Like the deadened trees
That held you ‘til our falling out
[Refrain]
Patch me up but I’m not doing fine
Moving slowly at the speed of light
Fighting for time but in need of a sign
Not invited inside on the coldest of nights
[Outro]
Roads taken to leave
Have burnt me out
Like the dead end streets
That drove us to our falling out
Roads taken to leave
Have burnt me out
Like the dead end streets
That drove us to our falling out
