This world is filled with foul and hateful people
Tainting everyone else
A rotten core that spills into the branches
And bares a bitter fruit so vile
Waste land
Hidden by lies of gold
An oath to give us water
But all we got was stone
Wasted
A life only given once
To spend it only hurting
Anyone you come across
Watch a velvet heart
Calcify
Until its blood runs dry
See a burning flame
Lose its heat
Snuff out the light inside of me
Among the dirt and soil
Don't let yourself rot
Among a world so cold
Don't let yourself go
One by one
One by one
Bit by bit
We clean the rot
That has messed up our home
One by one
Be the change
Don't let the outside come in
One by one
Fill the space
Until they're shaking
This world is filled with foul and hateful people
Tainting everyone else
A rotten core that spills into the branches
But I'm ripping it out
Dig my hands into the dirt
Ripping every weed
Until my hands
Dig my hands into the dirt
Ripping every weed
Until my hands bleed
You can sit and never move
But I reject being so useless
One by one
We take it back
Everything we're rightly owed
One by one
Be the change
Don't let the outside come in
One by one
Fill the space
Until they're shaking
Bit by bit
We clean the rot
That has messed up our home
