Alien Machine in the Pines* trash***

[Verse 1] There’s a tower in the timber Cold glass in the green Blinking in the branches Like it fell from someone’s dream Steel feet in the needles Blue glow on the moss It hums in stranger languages Counting something lost [Chorus] We don’t want your alien machine Rust it out Tear it from the trees This is dirt This is root This is breathing Take your wreck and drag it from the clearing Nobody here Nobody here Nobody needs that alien machine [Verse 2] Kids throw stones at the panels Old folks spit when they pass Hunters walk a wider circle Muttering under their breath Roots curl back from the cables Birdsong cuts and runs Even rain feels wrong around it Like it’s dodging the sun [Chorus] We don’t want your alien machine Rust it out Tear it from the trees This is dirt This is root This is breathing Take your wreck and drag it from the clearing Nobody here Nobody here Nobody needs that alien machine [Bridge] Who sent you? Who said you could stay? This place had its own strange magic Long before you came (won’t bow, won’t kneel) Not to some cold screen Just give us back our quiet Give the forest back its dreams [Chorus] We don’t want your alien machine Rust it out Tear it from the trees This is dirt This is root This is breathing Take your wreck and drag it from the clearing Nobody here Nobody here Nobody needs that alien machine
