American Landfill Kings

How did we find ourselves
Living on top of the things
That we don’t want any more
Screaming while we cover our ears
We can’t see ahead
And we won’t see behind us
Praying that the true-false truth
Won’t find us
They’re building their dreams
The American landfill kings
The American
Landfill
Kings
We die with a palace of junk
That can’t find its rest in the ground
Like a body or a dying rose
Crowning ourselves with lies
Giving, letting go
Unpossessing to unbind us
Open hands, open hearts
Every moment to remind us
But they’re building their dreams
The American landfill kings
The American
Landfill
Kings
Where will we live?
When they’ve conquered the earth
And the wild dies
Where will we live?
They’re building their dreams
The American landfill kings
The American
Landfill
Kings
