The chemicals in leafs allow for amazing things Leafs process their own food from something as basic as light And, with just a few other things, break apart those compunds and produce something entirely new But beautiful flowers and sugars aren't live's most marvelous miracle Love and pain and growth and friendship elude For all the chemicals they boast, dopamine isn't among them They are alive, but they don't live While sentience escapes them Perhaps that isn't the key Because when you have thoughts and neurons firing And yet there's a crushing abyss yawning Somewhere deep inside you That's when things get scary Leafs are a simple thing Not at all scary You always think there are worse things to be than a leaf But when you're a leaf Empty and beautiful Emotionless and amazing There may be beautiful things you make Beautiful crazy wonderful things Leaves all have one thing in common Because they all inevitably fall And people pass them by Without notice crunch crunch crunch And then you're gone
