HOPE

O mother please forgive us
We've made you our own grave
Old tyrants cling to branches
Stuck waiting til they're swept away
Marrow stripped from the bone
Scar tissue stretching miles
Too hurt to fully heal
We're scrambling to stay alive
Poison hangs in the air
A constant symbol of our hate
Thick plastic clogs the planet's pores
Hope we all don't suffocate
Water levels on the rise
Wildfires sweep through the trees
Ghost planet's ragged breathing
We’re shivering in the breeze
But you gotta have hope
You gotta have hope
Hope that the tyrants' hands
Grown fat, slower than your own
Ash in our lungs and in our eyes
Reclaim our home with every swing
Shrouded in hydrocarbon smog
They'll never see us coming
(Jesse Matthewson)
They want us all to pay
A cost too high to bear
Your home is burning to the ground
They want you not to care
Keep that guillotine sharp

Plaguebearer, cease to breathe.
Die far away from me.
I did my research. I don’t want your disease.
No relief. No relief. No release.
Everywhere I turn there’s someone smarter than me.
The brand of freedom you want
burned into every other neck
choked at the end of every leash.
Spew out all your hate.
Heave the tainted air.
Point with rotten nails.
Run ever lower on breath.
Why should I be made to carry the weight of all your risk? You think I shouldn’t exist.

THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS
03:05

I see you on the last day of your life. Your own children held close. Saying the right things. But feeling nothing.
From time to time the tree of liberty must be refreshed with children’s blood.
Spare me your thoughts and fucking prayers.
