letra de planet of weeds - she/her/hers

i make my morning coffee with water
clean and clear from my tap
where was it grown and by who?
i try not to think about that

as it percolates quietly i read the morning news
and try not to think of the results of what i consume

and every single moment i live in…

i’ve been getting better at learning to live with the shame
of knowing the consequences and buying in just the same
to shelves of disposable, brightly-colored, future trash
that i never needed before and now i can’t seem to live with the lack

and every single moment i live in…

i wish that i could spend one single day fixating on something else for a change. i never thought that my life would end up this way

i’ve got this terrible reoccurring dream
where i stand on a pile of trash
hat extends for as far as the eye can see
all disposable cups, every cigarette b-tt
every ounce of gas that i’ve ever used
i am gasping for breath as it’s filling my lungs
i wake up still choking on the fumes
and every single moment i live in fear that i’ll be alive
while everything beautiful dies;
coral reefs bleach and decay
the amazon engulfed in flames
all forests, all deserts, all seas
the whole world a planet of weeds
while global ecosystems crash
the only ones that survive
are the species that live on our trash

so we bear witness
it’s already too late
we bought into their systems
we all carry the shame
we all wanted something
no matter the cost

so now we get nothing, nothing at all
