Madeleine Brossier & Shing02 - Bring Me Home

I've been on this edge before
Standing on the ridge that i can marvel at the dinosaurs
The ferns and the jellyfish rule supreme
Humans long buried in the dirt making cream
For the modified crops to flourish without worries
Our molecules nourish the free furries
That roam around the grounds desecrated by man
Against the behest of woman
What am I doing revisiting the past
From a post far removed from the original nest
Geez at first it was a test of wills to see
Who can find options lost at sea of the universe
Prior to abandon reckless ship
That sailed out and got spun like bearings
Plan B urned into C, D, and E
By the time we said F it, lost all beliefs

Bring me home, home, home
Bring me home, home, home
Bring me home, home, home
Bring me home, home, home

Aw, burnt that one way ticket
Wandered around til we landed the rocket
Beyond repair but we learned to manage
'Cause the deep sleep chambers we salvaged
Our bodies are rested while our minds on wire
Working tireless but mostly retired
Does that even make sense
Our neurons are firing running idle, donning idols
Glimmer of hope, a candle in the storm
No poetry here, just channeling the boredom
Whatever happened to challenging the norm
Machines take voice commands, we conformed
The weakest form of a species
The real country laughed at our treaties
She gave us everything we needed as freebies
And now we lay in our bed like seaweeds

Bring me home, home, home
Bring me home, home, home
Bring me home, home, home
Bring me home, home, home

Well I'm still here, between Mars and Venus
And I am sorry it went like this between us
I couldn't trust human words no more
I had to lose them at the shore
I was wilting before my time had come
Suffocating under your serfdom
Struggling to find a remedy
To cure that land that once was me
But your ashes came from a thousand stars away
They will nourish the roots of a thousand trees someday
Swirling around I'll make you a rhizome
And you'll be glad to know, you're home

If you receive this transmission
I hope you understand that I had ambition
Started out young, eyes filled with a vision
But it got clouded and yes my position
Got erased too, so i had to zoom out 10x
It was a gut check, bowl of enzymes
My center was off the perimeter
Off the charts and none too familiar
In the event should I remain hidden yeah
Off the grid, this one for good riddance
There, I don't have to be extra terrestrial
To wanna phone home but the irony is celestial
And the fact that i am indeed
Plus the probability that my satellite feed
Will ever come back is close to nil
So i ask you to take my ashes and spill
