A tree fell in the forest,
Tree fell in the forest
With no one around.
A tree fell in the forest,
Tree fell in the forest
And it made a ~

A tree fell in the forest,
Tree fell in the forest
With no one around.
A tree fell in the forest,
Tree fell in the forest
And it made a sound,
It made a sound, it sounds like:
Ooo~ooo

It sounds like cellophane, styrofoam,
Molasses and petroleum:
The things you know but don't do much about.
It sounds like laugh machines, shopping malls,
Litter, insincere applause:
The things you hate but don't do shit about.

The tree fell down and god it made and awful sound.
Ooo~ooo

It sounds like forest fires and a dying sun,
The things they warned about when we were young.
I see it, I saw it, I chose to ignore it,
And now I'm choosing to run.
Oh, wear your crowns,
Because in the end we'll all be in the ground.
The tree fell down and god it made and awful sound.
It sounds like...

It sounds like ginkgo leaves, wooden swords
Fading dreams and closing doors,
The water we can't swim in anymore.
It sounds like autumn time, photographs,
The sand inside the hourglass,
The things we've lost and never really found.

The tree fell down and god it made and awful sound.
