... the trees make more.

The plants are moving,
The garden's gaining ground.
We let the house go,
We let our nails grow out.
The ruins are burning down.
WE RAKE THE LEAVES BUT THE TREES MAKE MORE!
This is the ivy that used to be something.
Root through the dirt and eventually you'll turn into grass.
I've heard of a time when this was all commercial real estate.
We trampled the roses walking it back.
Get me back
Get me back
To my gated cul-de-sac.
I want the world but I don't want to live in it.
WE RAKE THE LEAVES BUT THE TREES MAKE MORE!
I want the world but I don't want to live in it.
WE RAKE THE LEAVES BUT THE TREES MAKE MORE!

Defend Your Minerals!

System malfunction
Just like how the universe began.
Somethings have to blow apart and start all over again.
Warning: I'm about to spoil the end.
All your favorite characters are dead
But the franchise lives on
So we'll have to give them all that we have.
Don't let them find you.
Don't let them dig you out.
We're worth more as minerals underground.
Here's where it hit.
Here's what the impact did.
I was a mess
With my head caved in.
It was a flaming wreck.
I took a nosedive,
You took a victory lap.
I'm in a coma,
You seized a power nap.
Sleeping dreamlessly.
Walking in circles with X's for eyes
Your dollar sign pupils are learning the lines.
Don't let them find you.
Don't let them dig you out.
We're worth more as minerals underground.
I make decisions
I have the resources.
The lower my pitch
The louder my voice is.
I have a point to make;
I’d rather gouge out your eyes, I think!
All of the figures, they don't look like people.
You're adding them up but you can't make them equal.

Dying of boredom.
Fair-market values.
Another dust up,
Mostly dead skin.
Wait out the weather
With me in my bunker, or
Hunker in hovels
Letting the rain in.
Send all the bad people away.
I'm not suggesting we won't lose some numbers.
I've got a graph here that will make it make sense.
Fraternal Orders Controlling The Weather!
There must be someone that keeps me from having more than this.
Send all the bad people away!
You've been
Struck by lightning
So many times, you'll be alright
But all my friends are scared.
I was the first one in.
I was important then.
I miss the little things.
You brave the weather when all my friends are scared.

Run it
Down the chain
To the little ones that live off all the parts we throw away
I can see more shades of green
I can see more shades of green than you.
You're a killer
From your suite
But the animals that watch you from the wallpaper agree
That I can see more shades of green
I can see more shades of green than you.
I can chase a meal
Wearing who I kill.
Every hunter has their hunter
Who's weak enough to eat.
The apex,
On your own
There are parasites and viruses
So you're never alone.
There's never been a plague
That's ever made us half as sick as you.
Falling
Down the chain.
Frolic in the chaos with the ones you threw away.
They're immune to dying,
Desensitized by everything you do.
And they all see more shades of green,
They all see more shades of green than you.
