and we stay

[lazy_kat_wren]

A tribute to my younger sis, who is now gone. Of course, I won't notice much of a difference, being gone myself.
But as one of my family members, she helped me learn an important lesson this summer. There is no happiness to be found in giving into your fleeting desires to leave behind everything you've ever known. True happiness is found when you've found something worth staying for.

lyrics to Colors by Amos Lee

Yesterday, I got lost in the circus
Feeling like such a mess
And now I'm down
I'm just hanging on the corner
I can't help but reminisce

Cuz when you're gone
All the colors fade
When you're gone
No new year's day parade
You're gone
Colors seem to fade

Your mama called, she said
That you're downstairs crying
Feeling like such a mess
Ya, I hear ya
In the background balling
What happened to your sweet summertime dress?

I know we all
We all got our faults
We get locked in our vaults
And we stay

When you're gone
All the colors fade
When you're gone
No new year's day parade
You're gone
Colors seem to fade

Yesterday, I got lost in the circus
