Well look at us now. so profound and well rounded
somehow this know how will keep us grounded
But our ears are numbed from the industrial hum
And our eyes are blind from reflection of where we come from
We come from the air
We come from the sea
from the land that gives us all we need
But we burn the trees
That help us breathe
We keep feeding the disease of greed
I think theres something in the water
I’m choking on this poisoned air
All destruction is self destruction
Theres no difference between indifference and dispair
So dig a hole and toss me in I want to live inside the Earth
My only purpose my only worth is go back to the dirt
Where I’m from I wish to return maybe then I’ll finally learn
But it might be all covered up by time its my turn
In broken glass
And plastic bags
The remains of engrained behaviors
Our grave has been paved
With the latest upgrades
Images of our hallow saviors
These and more Will lace the floor
When we embrace our open sore
What will we learn when it’s our turn
Will be grow or will we burn?
We won’t find salvation in the allegience we have sworn
No warnings or reform will stop the coming storm
No policies or philosophies or self defeating technologies
We’ll have to die before we are reborn
Spirit and mind
All is divine
We are all we see
Don’t be blind
To our common ties
I am you and you are me
From the creatures we step on to the blazing cosmos
The sleeping cells the air we breathe
We’re all born from the same beautiful chaos
When we realize we are one we will be free
