[Verse 1: Toby Thomas]
Please, have mercy
Untie me from this ever-burning stake
Diseased, never asked for this
Gave us what we need
All this draining, destroying
Our home is weathered and scarred
Glisten on the surface, rotten epidermis
Spread as cancer through her skin
Her skies bleeding the essence
From our living, everchanging home
[Verse 2: Toby Thomas]
Breathe, is this all a sick sad drеam?
I've been waiting, but I can't see a sign of relief
Oh, will you еver learn?
No end will justify the means
No validation will stitch up your seams
[Chorus: Alex Reade & Toby Thomas]
Pale into insignificance
Extinction knows no different
A grain of salt in a sea of ignorance
Trust that time will not remember us
[Verse 3: Toby Thomas]
I stood atop a canopy of trees, petrified and charred
Whispering so faintly as the wind blew through the scars
The soil speaks to me, weeping in my ear
We've ignored all the pleading
Point no blame, the plague is in us all
[Bridge: Toby Thomas]
The skies are screaming
The oceans, they're weeping
Listen, the land is pleading
No more, no more, no more
[Chorus: Alex Reade & Toby Thomas]
Contagious, we're all infected
With fear of our demise
Why is it so hard to see
We are the only ones ending these lives?
[Outro: Alex Reade & Toby Thomas]
Can't see the forest for the trees
Lost in the abyss as it stares back at me
Won't smell the burning beneath your feet
Guided by fear, this world knows not to be free
Please, have mercy
Untie me from this ever-burning stake
Diseased, never asked for this
Gave us what we need
All this draining, destroying
Our home is weathered and scarred
Glisten on the surface, rotten epidermis
Spread as cancer through her skin
Her skies bleeding the essence
From our living, everchanging home
[Verse 2: Toby Thomas]
Breathe, is this all a sick sad drеam?
I've been waiting, but I can't see a sign of relief
Oh, will you еver learn?
No end will justify the means
No validation will stitch up your seams
[Chorus: Alex Reade & Toby Thomas]
Pale into insignificance
Extinction knows no different
A grain of salt in a sea of ignorance
Trust that time will not remember us
[Verse 3: Toby Thomas]
I stood atop a canopy of trees, petrified and charred
Whispering so faintly as the wind blew through the scars
The soil speaks to me, weeping in my ear

The skies are screaming
The oceans, they're weeping
Listen, the land is pleading
No more, no more, no more

[Outro: Alex Reade & Toby Thomas]
Can't see the forest for the trees
Lost in the abyss as it stares back at me
Won't smell the burning beneath your feet
Guided by fear, this world knows not to be free
