***** is the only language I know Burning brightens anguish that grows Like the blinding light the sun shows A star providing life While simultaneously burning me As I dream of turning free Floating here I sail a sea Of words that hurt And kick up dirt Of actions that keep stacking Of factions that keep attacking Of agency that I'm lacking To change any of these things Or the sorrow they bring The sun's assault through trees Scorches the dirt off of me In a world on fire Incinerators are the cleanest places In a hateful empire Interpreters are unwelcome faces And we continue to count the paces Until we master mudslides And we continue to erase the traces Of our humanity under dirt We live in this sandstorm Brought by man's scorn We attempt to grow corn But the dusty fields remain barren When the sun that used to activate photosynthesis Now burns all the young seeds to a crisp The seeds are now manufactured As people wait for the rapture Unable to see salvation starts here on Earth And it starts with us cleaning up dirt

Dirt
***** is the only language I know Burning brightens anguish that grows Like the blinding light the sun shows A star providing life While simultaneously burning me As I dream of turning free Floating here I sail a sea Of words that hurt And kick up dirt Of actions that keep stacking Of factions that keep attacking Of agency that I'm lacking To change any of these things Or the sorrow they bring The sun's assault through trees Scorches the dirt off of me In a world on fire Incinerators are the cleanest places In a hateful empire Interpreters are unwelcome faces And we continue to count the paces Until we master mudslides And we continue to erase the traces Of our humanity under dirt We live in this sandstorm Brought by man's scorn We attempt to grow corn But the dusty fields remain barren When the sun that used to activate photosynthesis Now burns all the young seeds to a crisp The seeds are now manufactured As people wait for the rapture Unable to see salvation starts here on Earth And it starts with us cleaning up dirt
