Scattered here

scattered there

all around the ground

fallin’ amidst our days

restless senseless nights

life’s leaves are a fallin’

down down down

reddish as city violence

green like corporate corruption

down down down

brown as Uvalde pain

orange as prison jumpsuits

tragic as Camp Mystic rain

down down down

life’s leaves are a fallin’

we never know the turns they take

when circumstances come a callin’
