There are no more old growth forests Just cycles of succession Cut and burn and grow again All nature resigns to this Cut and burn and grow again All nature resigns to this Rib hurt, I went to sleep Slept with hope laid next to me But divinity didn't snap The rib from the rack But divinity didn't snap The rib from the rack So a voice is screaming out To slink away and hide myself Like a cat run out to die This is private, this is mine Like a cat run out to die This is private, this is mine But as much as I want it gone Another voice comes in strong "Show it mercy. Stay around It's home keeps burning down." "Show it mercy, stay around It's home keeps burning down." I am wired with impatience Imbued with some resistance To watch the world around me change To something that is worth the wait Watch the world around me change To something that is worth the wait
