Leech

Follow me underwater until the searchlights leave the shore.
Follow me underwater until we find what we’re looking for.

Plastic oceans, plastic farms
Cover your footprints like a bandaid on a broken arm.

They found the pipeline through the soul in the soil.
I thought this place never changed
But now the reefs are bleeding swells of oil
And the forests are up in flames.

You fell asleep. You fell asleep while your bed burned

Give me a reason.
Tell me why we lost our reason.
Tell me the truth, not an excuse.
‘Cause we have everything to lose.

Plastic oceans, plastic farms
Cover your footprints like a bandaid on a broken arm.

A cancer in our lifeblood.
So silently it grew.
The streams of least resistance
Poison me and poison you.

There’s a virus in the air
That drags the wind out from my chest.
I don’t see a way out.
All I see is a sphere of unrest.
Show me a way out.

Follow me underwater until the searchlights leave the shore.
Follow me underwater until we find what we’re looking for.

Plastic oceans, plastic farms
Cover your footprints like a bandaid on a broken arm.

You fell asleep. You fell asleep while your bed burned.
