there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
that's the trouble with everything
everything always dies and
that's the thing about everything
everything always dies
there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
