Burn it all down

Did you think of me when you took your last bow?
Did I flash through your mind when you turned from the crowd?
Did you have any doubt when they brought the lights down?
Or did you feel at peace as applause faded out

Did your mind change in a sudden, manic breakdown?
Did the leaves change all the way from red to dead brown?
Could you not save what you had to throw out?
Did it seem strange just to burn it all down?

Did you believe that your tree held no green?
Did you not see all the dreams we could be?
Did you leave me with our secrets and schemes?
Did you foresee that this grief never leaves?
