Carter Hays - Posthumous

Well now I'm taking lessons from my pessimist age
No longer fatally fazed
Call us the terraformers
Cause we're making everything change
To satisfy a cease fire with love as my aim
From Aussie to Oregon it's organized in spite of the feds ways
Can't tire the headspace
We're wired to inspire other fires to displace
The rise of the old empire and its ways
And create funeral pyres to reclaim its place
Behave in such a way nobody's safe if only sane
Shoutout to friends' lives taken by Duterte
And Tyson's cage
And police in the USA
And Bolsonaro's reign
Of cold Yanomami bodies in the Amazon rain
We feel their pain, we back their claims, we feed the flames, we free the rage, we say Their names

Not only martyrs, posthumous sages
Force of the people negating the game's
Unequal weight with their invocation
For them it's full pages
Reinforced by foreign angles
Forming a perspective that's
Forced outta these dark ages
So bring light, 'cause life moves in cycles
One year we are here in the next hundred we enact half of our idols'
Insights it invigorates our rivals
Who make their own change now the wave is turning tidal
Brace for imminent arrival
People are a part of ecosystems fighting for survival
Choose to struggle for, or fill the fortress and therefore be guided

I've got a realist.. Imagination
And our behavior's gonna change if we wanna change it
I've got a realist.. Imagination
And our behavior's gonna change if we wanna change it

If you wanna change the world then ownership's on us
To build collective trust
And show affection to all those affected
By the way we take the earth and vivisect it
By the way we split communities and let them get infected
By the way we straight jacket voters in open elections
And by the way we have the power to make it all electric
And I know it, its upsetting
All these circles are concentric
Ripple out from any point and ripping out the rug on which we're standing
My understanding is that we need to be demanding for our very future
And the future of our fucking planet
Many worlds make one and we've begun to prove we're
Standing up once beggars now we are being choosers
We've envisioned the future and now the view is moving
In our lives we'll rise from the empire
Some posthumous

Although the presents what we have we just can't erase the sutures of the past let em Guide us to the future
Although the presents what we have we just can't erase the sutures of the past let em Guide us to the future
Although the presents what we have we just can't erase the sutures of the past let em Guide us to the future
The present's what we have... Let's move into the future
