That's what I never understood about coffins Life is about expanding your prison cell as much as you can There's no requirement to be contained once it's over Our nutriance to the Earth Is our nutrients into Earth All creatures that die on this planet Become a part of it The Debt they paid to the future The Debt that is always collected on We travel nonchalantly on their corpses Wishing they could appreciate That each and every one of them Was one step closer to sentience This planet's passion project
Could the first single-celled organism Comprehend my humiliation? When the first creature walked on land Was it anticipating my shame?

Or did lost American tribesmen Prophesize the complexities of my love? I can feel all these ******* looking up at me from the ground And it's just me As I accidentally burn my notebook with a cigarette
