lyrics

you follow skies
like the greens of my eyes
when i sit in a tree
and i hold on loosely
cuz i'm safe, powerful
and secure
all is well
so are you
but the blues of your eyes
are few hues of life
and you've been traumatized
by all the lies
they're mapping out degrees
unreachable you see
expecting is for fools
and you know
the sun and moon
are reliable
but you don't know
if you will wake breathing
take it easy
stare at the stars
wonder what you are
and wonder what's the season
thoughts may manipulate
it's time to overtake
before it get's too late
and there's no more space
to rejuvenate
they're sure making it hard
but you know who you are
you've felt this way
for centuries
cuz your roots are buried, still
deep in the Appalachians
you can feel the trembles
of resistance
they're trying to bomb
your essence
as you walk around
using this body
for existence
and when you get so low
this vessel seems useless
somebody says up to give
mind tells heart
this body wants to live
this body wants to live!
reboot system
reboot system
or it will crash
