lyrics

The earth has grown plastic. Water takes eons to seep. The burnout of tress is due to blemished air. Neonates feed on supplements. Does frondescence succor wellbeing?

Air-conditioning helps appraise accommodation. Windowpanes don’t open to the sky. Owners enhance décor with filament lights. A flame tree stands alone beside the gateway. Old leaves cover the passage.

Wood is abolished to expand highways. The flamboyant tree dies from Roman vitriol.
