evie from earth

Lyrics

When the last tree has fallen, will they see we can’t eat money
Got a false start on my youth, and now all our roots are dying
I wish to have a child untouched by the smog of ignorance
I’d like to reach twenty without sinking like Icarus

Fingertips like the rings of a stump
Lungs like branches breathing for a gasp of love
Windows to the soul or nebulas
We’ve lost our kinship, we’ve forgotten we are one

For the ones who love will stay
The ones who love will stay
The ones who love will stay
The ones who love will stay

When the leaves of care collapse, and we fear their ceaseless end
Grab hold of your enemy convince them we are friends
Perpetual fear over the impact of our minds,
We fantasise destruction as if that is worth the time

Family is like a system of growth
Corruption can’t apologise for what I now know
Poison never knew the power it holds
Seeping disconnection one day will implode

For the ones who love will stay
The ones who love will stay
The ones who love will stay
The ones who love will stay

But the meek shall inherit the earth once we leave
Consumed by the ivy covered buildings
Working with the tides, rather than opposing the sea
Forces beyond the physical allowing us to be
Moving past mourning all the toxicity
Embracing in the pass time of cherished canopies

For the ones who love will stay
The ones who love will stay
The ones who love will stay
The ones who love will stay
