Irreversible Damage

Ah-ah-ah, ah (Mhm), ah

Mhm, mhm

Yeah

Ah-ah-ah

(When you were thinking about irreversible damage)

When I was thinking about irreversible damage?

In that conversation? Um

I guess I was, I was thinking about parts of myself

I was thinking about dreams I had had

Visions I had for myself, for my life, um, hopes

A belief even in, like, love and dreams coming true

A belief in, in like, I can, I can like heal my way out of a place

Even to say I don't feel that way anymore

I think that my understanding of those things

Drastically changed after massive, massive loss

And that like, with massive, major loss

And like the deepest, deepest grief

Something just like shatters

Something shattered in me, I suppose

And it was like, when you get shattered into a million pieces

Like, what do you do?

Like, what-what can you do when you shatter pieces?

But can they come back together?

And, you know, I, I imagine, some of those pieces, yeah

Like you can like pick them up and like build them into something new

But some of those pieces, you know, are so obliterated

That I think, like, they're just gone, and there's no coming back

And that's like how when you were talking about the grasslands

You know, when like you spend time there

You're very aware of how beautiful it is

You know, how wild it is

But the more time you spend there and the more you learn about history of land

You learn more about how completely devastated it's been

Completely destroyed (That will happen)

There's been such mass extinction there, you know, that like

No matter how much we try to restore it or protect it now

It'll never ever go back to where it was, ever

It's, it's gone, well, what it was is gone

But, you know, when you're standing there

In, you know, Big Sky Country

It's as wild as wild gets in some of those places, you know?

And there is no separation between you and God

You know, you're standing in that land (Right)

And you see, like even despite all the devastation

It's still beautiful, it's still wild, it's still alive

(You were saying) Well, you know, I, I might have misunderstood the mass devastation

I might, I might have been thinking that

You can bring it back to life, yes (To see everything)

(You say to see it as it is) To see it as it is
