lyrics

As leaves to trees
a foreshadowing of paper products
what the masses and majority will become
but me I need that bonding blood
the sweet syrup of life
not billboards that proclaim
"end the fight, mediate with divorce done right'
no, with these dry dead leaves
let's relight the fires of youth
where we knew what we wanted
because we had the freedom to choose

Before they sold us their lives
told us in the next four years
we'd never find a better time
now the anti-heros
dressed to kill in this dystopia
where we burn our trash
to change the colors of the sky
and the sun only really shines
at night. right?

Now we've grown from leaves to trees
but our sap has run bitter
sucked in all the refuse and we
spit it out just the same
ha ha ha how this morbid romanticism
has warped and withered my brain
warped and withered my poor brain

This ain't a song
This ain't a poem
This is my morbidly romantic tone
