You step on the leaves on the floor

Cold naked trees that whisper
Depicting imagery of bare trees and their whispering nature.
(You know it's coming)

All of their green is fading
Observing the fading of the green color in trees.
(And so you know)
Reiterating the awareness of an impending event.
You know it's coming

And you can't stop
Continuing the theme of being unable to stop running.

And you may run but you can't hide
Indicating that avoidance is futile despite attempts to run.
Drowned in fear

No time to think
Conveying a lack of time for contemplation.
Just keep on running
Encouraging continuous movement without pause.

Highlighting the consequence of ceasing movement or action.
You'll
Ending with a sense of inevitability if one stops.
