The Lonely Leaf

[Verse 1, clean vocals] I'm the green in the corner, the fern you forgot Once the pride of your window, now a dry lonely spot You used to sprinkle me daily, gave sunlight that shone But these days I'm wilting, just brittle and bone [Verse 2, clean vocals] Remember when you brought me home, set to thrive In that pot, I was alive, photosynthesizing jive But now I'm just a backdrop, part of the decore You don't see me anymore, my leaves dropping to the floor [Chorus, screaming vocals] Neglected, I'm checkin’, no affection, I'm stressin' In the shadows, just guessin', need your presence, it's pressin' Water me, man, can't you see that I'm messin’ Turn back to me, stop this plant from depressin' [Bridge, clean vocals] A little water, a bit of your time Could lift me up, make this climb Don’t let me fade in this dim-lit rhyme A splash of care, let our lives intertwine [Chorus, clean vocals] Neglected, I'm checkin’, no affection, I'm stressin' In the shadows, just guessin', need your presence, it's pressin' Water me, man, can't you see that I'm messin’ Turn back to me, stop this plant from depressin' [Verse 3, screaming vocals] I’m the silent plea in your urban retreat A touch of nature, man, I'm more than just neat Don't let me go out in a whisper of brown A bit of your love could turn this all around [breakdown] [Outro, hushed vocals] So here’s to the life that we both could revive With a drop of care, I can more than survive I'm not just decore or some forgotten chore I'm alive, let me thrive, let’s restore what you swore
