So many scars on this bark
Etchings of a race in the dark
Making our superior mark
For a future so impossibly stark
The tree sees all, knows all
Watches us fall whilst we ignore its calls
You, like me, are anything but free
Maybe with its knowledge, we too, will cut and not bleed
We don't know the earth
We don't know we have just one mistake
We are catastrophe-bound
Face Methuselah and awake
We don't know the earth
We don't know we have just one mistake
We are catastrophe-bound
Face Methuselah and awake
Lies whispered on the wind
Betrayal hoped to keep within
This regressive collective
Wisdom wasted freely
Encouraging fleets of greed
A balance shifts in me
We don't know the earth
We don't know we have just one mistake
We are catastrophe-bound
Face Methuselah and awake
We don't know the earth
We don't know we have just one mistake
We are catastrophe-bound
Face Methuselah and awake
We don't know the earth
We don't know we have just one mistake
We are catastrophe-bound
Face Methuselah and awake
I see a future so bleak (we don't know the earth)
With only dead leaves (we don't know we have just one mistake)
And a hundred broken dreams (we are catastrophe-bound)
(Face Methuselah and awake)
I see a future so bleak (we don't know the earth)
With only dead leaves (we don't know we have just one mistake)
And a hundred broken dreams (we are catastrophe-bound)
(Face Methuselah and awake)
