Species

These woods are so dark

I can't see my hands or my feet

Still I'm not afraid

I feel in my place and at ease

When mankind is asleep

I feel I can finally breathe

Out here it is all clear

There's a cost for my every need

I stopped watching the news

A long time ago

No disaster felt new

The same old mankind that I know

My warmth comes from the trees

And my food comes from the sea

My supply of water drains visibly

With each slow cup of tea

I stopped feeling alone

A long time ago

I'm surrounded by life

I'm surrounded by home

I stopped watching the news

It was hurting me so

All that matters bleeds through

Like plutonium glow

Sometimes I hate my fucking species

Yet most days

I'll do anything to please it

My generation was fooled to pursue our dreams

But it is not what it seems

You never need what you want

And you rarely want what you need

My generation was told we could be anything

But that's a hope that deceives

Those who fail will feel flawed

But still fuller than those who succeed

(Run run run forever)

Heal our time

Please heal our time

Heal mankind

Please heal mankind

Oh

Heal our time

You can heal our time

But don't heal my mind

Sometimes I hate this fucking species

Don't heal my mind

Yet I'll do anything to please it

Sometimes I hate my fucking species

But try just anything just to fucking please it

Sometimes I hate my fucking species

You try just anything to fucking please it

Sometimes

I hate this fucking species
