There are no more old growth forests
Just cycles of succession
Cut and burn and grow again
All nature resigns to this
Cut and burn and grow again
All nature resigns to this
Rib hurt, I went to sleep
Slept with hope laid next to me
But divinity didn't snap
The rib from the rack
But divinity didn't snap
The rib from the rack
So a voice is screaming out
To slink away and hide myself
Like a cat run out to die
This is private, this is mine
Like a cat run out to die
This is private, this is mine
But as much as I want it gone
Another voice comes in strong
"Show it mercy. Stay around
It's home keeps burning down."
"Show it mercy, stay around
It's home keeps burning down."
I am wired with impatience
Imbued with some resistance
To watch the world around me change
To something that is worth the wait
Watch the world around me change
To something that is worth the wait
