Lyrics:

Teach me how to be
Falling autumn leaves
How to let it go and
Drift along the breeze

Past the factories
Over the debris 
Landing with a ripple
Floating down the stream

Gilded is the green
Tranquil and serene
Bathing in the sunlight 
None would intervene

That was just a scene 
Painted on the steam 
Billowing from engines 
Charging through my dreams 

All the time that we spend
Running from the world's end
We try our best to play pretend
Live within our photographs
And all the seasons that pass
Shrouded in our overcast 
We're shackled to a troubled past
 In your voice I find a clearing 

We're too busy circling the drain
Too busy causing others pain
Too lost in negatives
To see how lovely this day is

Just another link inside the chain-
Reaction, and we can't refrain 
From our own impulses 
Is that what being human is?

Desolate and frail,
The towers that we scale
Trying to escape this
Ocean with no sail

Pummeled by the hail
Markings left in braille 
Spelling out a message 
You must tell the tale

Innocence will fade
Don't you be afraid
Harvest all your lemons
Make that lemonade

Withered in the shade
Soil meets a spade 
Some things only blossom 
When they meet a blade

All the time that we spend
Running from the world's end
We try our best to play pretend
Live within our photographs
And all the seasons that pass
Shrouded in our overcast 
Shackled to a troubled past
 In your voice I find a clearing

We're too busy circling the drain
Too busy causing others pain
Too lost in negatives
To see how lovely this day is

Just another link inside the chain-
Reaction and we can't refrain 
From our own impulses 
Is that what being human is?
