fragments Video (MV)

Fragmented a world
That was once strung together
From the canopies to the roots
Now the pipes that run life through city spill waste to the ocean
Decimates our mothers very womb
The bears are awake and we should be too
But we hole up in our office cubes
Fragmented the world
Through a justification
That it would reveal a truth
Well I don't have proof
The way you want me to
When I say we cannot keep on fragmenting all that we hear, we see, we breathe
So won't you just search
Past the words where your heart ought to burn
You'd know something in us would be freed if we only stopped trying to explain everything
Fragmented the earth
From our feet so we can ignore
Her warnings her impacts her screams
Since if we weren't severed we feel all of her pain
We just found ways to make the guilt ease
Now we watch the skies grey as we run out of space and we refill our empty cups with greed
Fragmented ourselves
From our bodies and we dig
Our knives deep in our skins and we twist
Just 'cause it actually hurts to be alive
Well I don't need proof
The way you think I do
Take a look inside at how fragmenting broke us into shards too small to fit into place
So wont you just search
For a hand to smudge lines into blurs
And we could feel what we feel and not feel this great need to explain
Everything
So tomorrow
Taste the salt springs on your tongue
Humanity was born with more than enough
Let your guilt sting and then rise high above
Just to lend your kindness to the quieter ones
Your music's a lesson
Your art's a career
Your friendships are family, your love is a mirror
Of all the great gifts from the universe telling you
All that you've touched has touched you somehow
Don't fragment yourself from your relationships now
