Golden Afternoon

Lyrics: CircusP Music: Matthew Farnham Arranger: CircusP We'll start from day one "Tell me what you've done" The marks of a shut-in Determined to run
As I'm dashing through the forest The dirt rejects my attempt to stray the path But the rabbit lures me further into his trap And soon I'm beneath the lush grass
Just like the sun, I will stay ablaze Burning all that's in my way And like the stars residing in space I will find a place to stay
I'm invincible To all the rage, the hate, the pain of fate I am vulnerable To all my rage, my hate, the pace at which I change
The clouds in the sky are ever flowing Ever moving, ever mocking those like me But even the sand, the dirt, the rocks, The earth reshapes what it can be
But I can't see who I will be It's scaring me
And all these pretentious metaphors Are building a wall between me and the truth I don't want to hear it anymore, no more
To be honest, being honest is honestly too terrifying If I'm honest, being honest is honestly something I will never be
If there's no one around When that tree falls down Do you think it makes any sound? Do you think it wants to be found?
Do you think it's hurting? It's writhing? While lying on the ground? But there is no crying, no mourning Was just a tree, anyhow
Just like the sun, I will stay ablaze Burning all that's in my way And like the stars residing in space I will find a place to stay
I'm invincible To all the rage, the hate, the pain of fate I am vulnerable To all my rage, my hate, the pace at which I change
The clouds in the sky are ever flowing Ever moving, ever mocking those like me But even the sand, the dirt, the rocks, The earth reshapes what it can be
Who will I be? It's scaring me Who will I be once I am free?
