We live on a planet called Earth
And we're destroying all that it's worth

Our oceans are filled with pollution
...

Oh, lonely, oh, lonely
If only, if only
Go find you a friend
Who will stay 'till the end
...

Take a deep breath
Breathe the new spring air and fresh morning dew
Feel the cool breeze and the beautiful, sunless sky
As the wind takes your breath away and carries you far from home
...

It cannot breathe nor eat
Its heart might not even beat
Birthing it would be a feat
Almost like a parasite
...

You took my breath away

You used up all my oxygen
And strangled out my hope
...

My hands are shaking
My voice is breaking
My thoughts are running wild
My feelings are all riled
...

Pillage and plunder
Your birth was a blunder
You cheat, and you steal
Your manners aren't real
...

Good morning
We're all still mourning
For on the clock's last chime
You ran out of time
...

Anxiety is a riddle
And I'm caught in the middle
It's all in my mind
An answer I'm supposed to find
...

The world is a quilt of squares
Concrete lines cut through the land
Rivers of mud and muck
Concrete, plowed fields, and trees
...

I don't feel well
Sitting at the table is hell
They tell me I need to eat more
But eating is such a chore
...

Sitting in the silent street
I watch alone, a grown woman weeps
My society has collapsed
We, a people, are trapped
...

What if I told you that you are alone
It's true
It's how you started, and it is how you will die
There's no reason to hide it
...

Ripping tearing tumbling
Hands shaking and fingers fumbling
Crawling through the dirt
But the dirt was really hurt
...

I'm so tired, but I'm scared to fall asleep
Most nights, I want to fall asleep and never wake up
But I'm scared of what happens if I don't
I don't want to ever wake up again
...

Memories I can't quite remember
Of family friends and babysitters
I've felt panic before, but now it's in my chest
Wrapping around my lungs and blocking my breath
...

Everything is going dark
After my vision starts to blur
Losing feeling in my limbs
I think my nose is bleeding
...

I've fallen in love with Death
She is beautiful
With sardonic smiles and indifferent grins
She cares so much but never quite enough
...

I'm so thankful
Thankful for the pilgrims
Thankful for the land and the harvest
Fertilized by blood and carnage
...

We started with a friendship bracelet
That we wove around our wrists
But what I feel for you has grown
Like a seedling to a tree
...
