Species

Daniel Gildenlöw

These woods are so dark
I can't see my hands or my feet
Still I'm not afraid
I feel in my place and at ease
When mankind is asleep
I feel I can finally breathe
Out here it is all clear
There's a cost for my every need

I stopped watching the news
A long time ago
No disaster felt new
The same old mankind that I know

My warmth comes from the trees
And my food comes from the sea
My supply of water drains visibly
With each slow cup of tea

I stopped feeling alone
A long time ago
I'm surrounded by life
I'm surrounded by home
I stopped watching the news
It was hurting me so
All that matters bleeds through

Like plutonium glow

Sometimes I hate my fucking species
Yet most days
I'll do anything to please it

My generation was fooled to pursue our dreams
But it is not what it seems
You never need what you want
And you rarely want what you need

My generation was told we could be anything
But that's a hope that deceives
Those who fail will feel flawed
But still fuller than those who succeed

(Run run run forever)

Heal our time
Please heal our time
Heal mankind
Please heal mankind
Oh
Heal our time
You can heal our time
But don't heal my mind

Sometimes I hate this fucking species
Don't heal my mind
Yet I'll do anything to please it

Sometimes I hate my fucking species
But try just anything just to fucking please it

Sometimes I hate my fucking species
You try just anything to fucking please it

Sometimes
I hate this fucking species
