lyrics

I had a dream that you still fucked with me
You still talked with me
Walked with me
Woke to see it was still just me and this poetry
We lose so many on this path
Yet gain so much when we press onward
Exploring the corners
Looking up from the phones
Up towards the sky
Into your iris
Tell me all your favorite lies love
The ones that became the truth
The ones you told yourself to soothe
Don't you see we're all connected
I just haven't met you yet
Maybe I never will
Still I glide through the moments
Sliding into the unknown
Shifting through the tones of voices
Watching actions in relation to the words
Listening to the earth
Hearing her cry out to us
Begging us to turn back to her
To acknowledge her power
We just gotta trust and dive in
But you're afraid to break away from what you know
The plastic and corporations have a strong hold on your habits
Look at the landfills how we contribute to their filling
Look at the dwindling woods how we contribute to them dying
Look at your neighbor how you don't even see them crying
Look your body how you don't hear it speaking
We can do better
Consume less and come together
The question is what is holding you back?
