The Earth Is Us 歌词

Ugh The smoke rises like a prayer This is the debris the axe left behind In the vacuum of the cooling wind Only when the pain strikes more than once Do we cut what wasn't ours to cut We call a scar progress The earth bleeds and won't stop bleeding You and I own nothing What came from fate Which is a higher power That the market regulates That the technician corrects But every flood that inundates Every pain Is the reflection of a mirror That no one embraces There is no nature out there You are nature and part of it now Every burned tree burns within you Every dead river is a pot that won't grow The earth isn't green We destroyed it The earth has no borders It's what we've sold The green and blue were all we ignored And the hell we reap We planted The flood didn't come out of nowhere It came from us From the concrete that suffocates where life should sprout Nature isn't the victim It's us Who chose to destroy instead of inhabiting It wasn't the climate that changed It was what we chose to be The wind isn't to blame The wind only obeys Everything that exists is one and the same And we've burned a part of ourselves There's no escape in technology There's no escape in rhetoric We are the problem
