about

(forbearance: an abstaining from the enforcement of a right; a refraining from something; patient endurance;
self-control. never before has our collective consciousness strayed so far away from all other life-forms on the biosphere. our ideas around recreation and progress produce sprawls that our planet is not fit to handle. this is a large issue that has no clear answers that fix the problem at hand and we can only theorize what it was like to live in a pre-civilization culture; to think of humans as a piece of the eco-puzzle. but we can look at our lifestyles and consider how we as individuals factor into this equation.)

lyrics

push my hands into the soil
to wrap my head around the earth
like the beasts of the land and the birds of the air
we need a regression into existences once shared

a time where hearts and hands mattered most
subsistence was standard, survival the key
the blood the of the body, the only god pondered.
the lay of the land, scarcely squandered

lives once spent giving and taking
losing the ability to give
now masters of the art of taking
blindly marching toward extinction

our muscles have healed
our callouses softened
by the machines that we have created
to carry our legacy

lands filled with landfills, sights for sore eyes
clear cut and substituted with "progress"

we know not how we fit into this schem.
what once was natural is now metaphysical

lives lost longing for epiphanies
that will crack the codes to help us live longer and more prosperous

where our hopes and dreams
our hopes and dreams are realized
with whom we live and with whom we love
the word of mouth will be our bond
and let our tongues spread the wild-fire
of our reformation

micro-choices seem hollow amidst macro-complications
all i know is: we are the problem and we are the solution
an unconscious disconnection in our capacity to co-exist
in our fragile ideas of home our amendment must start
