First, do no harm

The sun sends its scorch
Burning rocks come tumbling
Singeing our last layer
Plates shift with haste
Testing water's knack for sweeping us away
A funneling cloud will keep us underground
Ice melting so thin we're liable to drown
All signs show it is us to blame
We're masticating the health
Of our host from the inside out

Something's wrong
We're wondering: if all was gone, what could we attest to?
Oblivion caped and crippled the earth
Parasites become of the appetites too desperate for fulfillment
Lost is the power to harvest our worth

This is not hands from above intent on punishing their young
This is not where we belong if this body is never enough
This is not reversible
We took too much when we dug this hole
This is not where we belong if this body is never enough

Feeding tortured mess by design
Hunger took the backseat to our past times
(Sentient souls hang like trophies)
Superior souls are stripped of empathy
Despite their quintessence

Something's wrong
We're wondering: if all was gone, what could we attest to?
Oblivion caped and crippled the earth
Parasites become of the appetites too desperate for fulfillment
Lost is the power to harvest our worth

(I've been wondering how we got...)
If hate spread like wildfire
The earth would be covered in flames
(I've been wondering how we got, got so alone)
Symbiosis was brave
(I've been wondering how we got...)
But never made a bout
A contest against all that breathes
(I've been wondering how we got, got so alone)
Until light burns out

This is not hands from above intent on punishing their young
This is not where we belong if this body is never enough
This is not reversible
We took too much when we dug this hole
This is not where we belong if this body is never enough
