lyrics

my, what a beautiful world it is
i'm happy to exist at all
you are a violent and fragile thing
and you make me feel so small

and without you i would crumble away
through the dust and decay you wouldn't notice
can you really stand to watch them bleed
through sloth and greed our tears lose focus

but i don't wanna tell you how to live your life
when every day's a pain to get up and decide for me

you won't find it through your watch and wine
but through sweat and grime we can avoid the wasps and locusts
you can save yourself or save your brothers
either way you'll find that the monster ate the other

and a tiger growls
and the elephants howl
and the monkeys screech
and the humans teach their younglings to play with matches

and the jellyfish sting
and the bluejays sing
and the tapeworms leech
and the humans teach their younglings to play with matches
and melt their faces into tiny little ashes

we will burn the forests
we will burn them down
we will burn the embers
and we will burn ourselves
until we can't
