Darkened Nature
Can you lie awake with me tonight
I hear the scratches in the walls
Hell is trying to get out into the light
It wants to know all of yall
Can you feel the darkness as it surrounds
Yes that is your heart beating like a fucking drum
The world is bleeding all around
We all want to see Hell come, want to see Hell come
The ocean just burped micro particles of plastic
Garbage island isn’t a myth it’s a fucking fact see
No one wants to take responsibility for the oceans being so tragic
They act as if all of the ocean’s pollution appeared as if by magic
Hell is behind my eyes and is fucking with me
The oceans are on fire and they are boiling blood
My mind is telling me that I’m just watching tv
It’s hard for me to tell what is from what was
Seems we use to have rainforests all around the world
A billion hectares in forty years, half of the rainforest in a century
The Amazon is loosing twenty thousand square miles a year, yeah heads swirl
At the current rate without locking these people up, the rainforest only has another century
People are so gullible listening to capitalist in their fight for profits
Climate change is bad for business, so they’re telling their peons to stop it
To rally behind their cause while drinking out of plastic bottles and bags
Particles of plastic bleeding into their food and drink until every toe has been tagged
Hahaha, yes cancer and dementia are on the rise globally
The doctors and scientist has joined the profiteers, the true bullies
The rainforests with all of their natural cures are being slashed and burned
While diseases are waiting in line in labs to get their turn
Do you know nearly anything can be created from hemp or bamboo
And for this reason I can see why you allow them to make an ape out of you
Furniture, paper products, clothes, and shoes can be made
Building material, biofuels, detergents, and bedding did you hear what I said
The profiteers don’t want this so we allow them to destroy the earth
Hemp is stronger than cotton and more durable showing it’s worth
Bamboo is as strong as some metals and yet we refuse to grow it
We cut down hard wood trees and only replant pine, so now act like you know it
If numbers and love are the only things that can be true
Maybe nature planted a certain number of trees for both me and you
The profiteers and their plastic are irrelevant, they were never factored into the equation
Yet we allow them to decide what’s to be and if it’s all worth saving
I hear the scratches in the walls
Hell is trying to get out into the light
It wants to know all of yall
Can you feel the darkness as it surrounds
Yes that is your heart beating like a fucking drum
The world is bleeding all around
We all want to see Hell come, want to see Hell come
