[Verse] [Mood building, Instrumentation guitar + brushed drums, Vocals layered female, Style vintage folk pop] [Am] meh house porch lights [G] flicker through haze, [Fmaj7] laughter floats [E7] like burnt malaise.

[Hook] [Mood nostalgic rise, Instrumentation full band + tambourine, Vocals stacked harmony, Style cinematic folk pop] [Am] all the leaves are green [G] but they still fall down, [Fmaj7] painting the gulf [E7] like a smoke-stained crown.

[Rap Confessional] [Mood intimate confessional, Instrumentation lo-fi breakbeat + ambient pad, Vocals female rap, Style confessional rap] [Am7] sittin’ on the stoop while the world burns slow [G6] talkin’ to the ash like it still might grow [Fmaj7] said i’m fine, but the smoke said “prove it,” [E9] so i lit your ghost and i learned to groove it [Am7] maybe we were buds in a cracked old jar [G6] left too long but we still got char [Fmaj7] all the leaves fall [E9] but they fall like me [Am7] high enough [G6] to pretend we’re free [Fmaj7] i hum that tune [E9] till the moon leans low [Am7] chaos hums soft [G6] where the gulf winds blow [Fmaj7] mɛ̀(h) house lights glow [E7] green and dim [Am7] every sin forgiven [E9] by the chlorophyll hymn.

[Hook – final] [Mood resigned hope, Instrumentation full band fade, Vocals layered choir, Style 60s cinematic close] [Am] all the leaves are green [G] but they still fall down, [Fmaj7] the seasons spin [E7] that sacred sound. [Am] mɛ̀(h) house gardens [G] glow like crown, [Fmaj7] i breathe her name [E7] as the sun drifts down. [Outro] [Mood tape-fade, Instrumentation guitar + field noise, Vocals whisper, Style lo-fi outro] [Am(add9)] all the leaves are green… [G6] and so am i now.
