letra de as the ground begins to boil - juliet kenzie

[verse 1]
in the land whose name claims two continents
it is criminal to cocoon, only natural to rot
as you distract your followers with the shiny toy of murder
while you vacuum the gray air out of their lungs
you withhold our cure, tell them it’s experimental abuse
and you force the sharp worms out of our skin
as our bodies balloon from the inside

is it unfair that i survived
while my siblings continue to die?
but the cornerstone of your (our) land is death
the ground begins to boil
as you (we) spray murder into the water and pour it into the sky
we suck the blood out of the bones from abroad
so our sweat can feed thе supersaturated sponge
thе oceans wave by wave draining the sand dry
your (our) guardians of peace serve execution on the streets
our children murder each other with our (your) toys
and we cheer on the flashing lights of imaginary homicide
as our (your) little men in our (their) rooms of silver screens rain the real thing far away
we pay you to take our relatives into the factories of flesh
bred to die, repurchased on a plate
hooked on delicious disease’s taste
we join the conveyer belt of scheduled hospice walk-ins
for the antidote is too expensive
and we can only afford the toxin

[verse 2]
when will your screaming cease?
you have far too much work to do
what are friends dying
when that is the way of the world?
these little glowing rectangles
are nothing but harbingers of pain
shrieking every horror
from every single place
every single second of every single day
just plug your eyes and close your ears:
have you changed a single thing all these years?
stop struggling, stop resisting, and definitely stop persisting:
it’ll be easier in the little time you have left for existing
swallow your deep takes
and take a deep breath
what does knowing the answer matter
when you can do nothing about it?

[verse 3]
but it’s so easy for you to lie
basking, motionless
when you’re floating on the lazy river
of the blood of the innocents
just another slaver
but too weak to grip the whip yourself
too weak to stare into the eyes
of the families they’re slaughtering for your consumption
the luxury of looking away
of having others exploit for you
so you can pretend you’re good
that you’re not responsible
that you’re not complicit
that you’re not guilty
just because there are taller thrones
doesn’t mean you aren’t on one yourself

but you’re right
the ground is boiling
the thrones are sinking
it’s the world’s inevitability to burn
we brought it on ourselves
born to serve
serving to eat
eating to die
the new apex species is here
and we’ve birthed it
you’ve woken up into the nightmare
and there is no going back to sleep
you can close your eyes or cry
but you cannot stop our fall
into the sponge of endless growth in the all-so-finite sky
[verse 4]
when i was driving home today
the freeways were empty
outside my window
the hills were rolling by
so close but

untouchable
my car doors were this impenetrable boundary:
i saw these abstract landscapes every day
yet they would forever be a stranger
then

somehow
i stopped
i pulled over
i got out of my car
and i went to those hills
i embraced them
the

the wind was so soft and cool
the grass
tickled
the sun was so warm on my face
and

i don’t know what any of it means
but

in that moment
i was overwhelmed
with the joy
that i was here
and that i was alive
