Leave No Trace

Step out the door
Disappear
Marvel at the crumbling habitat
A leased existence, cuddling my
Favorite endangered feelings

I once felt flagstones on leather
Where my ancestors walked and talked
Now it's a museum yeah, it's for others
It's been bought
We are social, fine
We are mobile, sure
But I'm not alone in my lust for anchors

Will we ever be ready to take care of each other?
I keep on looking for a Home
A Real Home
Don't know where on Earth it might be
But I know what it smells like

Is this Freedom, then?
To not have to honor the air, the water, the sky?
"I'm secure," you say
As the plague and the war unite
Fear I've got in spades, gambling my time away
I'm going to get chosen this time

So aspire to this, accumulate that
Leave the living to the dead
The future? could I have it back?
Small victories, clenched in my teeth
Leave 'em jagged
Leave 'em incomplete

Man it's freezing in here
I can't sleep, how can anyone?
Maybe there's a charm to wear
No it's probably a brand
Can't give back what you take, sharing my way awake
Fleeing murderous trolleys, failing constantly,
Losing touch with my art (my heart)
Not making my mark
But hey that's a start
Loving the hell out of our scars
But having some fucking fun

If I am
Lucky
I will
Leave no trace

If I am
Lucky
I will
Leave no trace

If I am
Lucky
I will
Leave no
