Victor Aidan - Build Soil (demo 2016)

I lay this peaceful patch of greenery
A backdrop of maddening domestic scenery weighing in
On a ratio far too greater than the lands that we let mother nature tend
We need a revolution that will allow a chance for broken soul to mend
On this climb up a steep cliffside the treeroots are our best friends
The grassroots are shallow
We need a movement with a taproot
We gotta get deep down underfoot if we plan to undermine
This toxic social paradigm
That alienates people from their true self
Locked inside a house where I live in here and everything else is out there
Way out there over yonder in the land of I don't care
What kind of chemicals are in the food I eat
The clothes I wear
My drinking water
My breathing air
I don't care what effect I have on the planet
I want the grass in my lawn to be uniform
I don't care if the weeds are trying to perform
An act of ecological succession
I treat them with aggression
Aha now let me tell you a story
A little account of herbal glory
Your worst wounds can be treated
By a weed you never guessed you wouldve needed
Let me tell you it's a beautiful view
When you realize edible plants are surrounding you
We gotta build this world anew
Build soil
And maybe let the knotweed grow right through the concrete
I'm walking through the yard
I'm never gonna go hungry
I'm never gonna go hungry
I don't need to spend money
I'm free
