The Trees Pulp

[Verse 1]
I took an air rifle, shot a magpie to the ground
And it died without a sound
Your skin so pale against the fallen autumn leaves
And no one saw us but the trees

[Chorus]
Yeah, the trees, those useless trees
Produce the air that I am breathing
Yeah, the trees, those useless trees
They never said that you were leaving

[Verse 2]
I carved your name with a heart just up above
Now swollen, distorted, unrecognizable like our love
The smell of leaf mold and the sweetness of decay
Are the incense at the funeral procession here today

[Chorus]
In the trees, those useless trees
Produce the air that I am breathing
Yeah, the trees, those useless trees
They never said that you were leaving

[Bridge]
You try to shape the world to what you want the world to be
Carving your name a thousand times won't bring you back to me
Oh no, I might as well, I might as well just go and tell it to the trees!
