the attic is still full of all of the same things
that lay here when I was wide-eyed for playthings

the basement is chock-full of all of the memories
handed to lovers with great expectations

don’t leave me behind

the palace of wisdom has never reached my mind
the chance of a lifetime has beaten me blindside
with high expectations and haughty irreverence
the words that I’ve spoken turn into nonsense

don’t leave me behind

you said it was a lonely night
you took the lead and made the mark
you tore the pages from the scene
that taught me to control the sadness

don’t leave me behind
don’t leave me alone
for I just may recall
what brought me here

(The Attic / Fair)
