[Verse] My friend asks a question, she's sad and perplexed, cus We gotta material world complex without real world context Too worried about what we buy next that we lose sight of who will die next If you can see the appeal of burning off your own flesh by all means help spread disease and boil the seas I ask on behalf of a friend who suffers, so please She has no blood, no she cannot bleed But the bleach in her veins screams out her needs [hook] Imma say namaste... Cus, damn, I'm pissed again, there's a war goin' on in the ocean And I gotta friend, who fills me in, so this, this is, more than a notion… She's a coral reef… that could use, some fucking relief Not a halfwit excuse, or chronic disbelief She's a home, a habitat, with many unique features All her connections are built for beautiful swimming creatures (ohhh) [verse] Oceans warm and acidify, this is my friend’s genocide Every year, a little faster, she dies inside Wondering where all her beautiful friends will reside She has grown a thousand miles wide She suffers from algae blooms from run off that fertilize It's like us breathing toxic fumes more than we realize Pollutants that block all that needs to be photosynthesized We are ourselves are turning to mutants with plastics inside [pre] We are so connected, when will we realiiize [Hook] Imma say namaste... Cus, damn, I'm pissed again, there's a war goin' on in the ocean And I gotta friend, who fills me in, so this, this is, more than a notion… She's a coral reef… that could use, some fucking relief Not a halfwit excuse, or chronic disbelief She's a home, habitat, with many unique features All her connections are built for beautiful swimming creatures [verse] How can symbiosis devolve into this deadly prognosis Our indifference defines what gross is Dumping out what is taken back in toxic doses Now I'm running round spelling out what my coral friend is crying out There's no use for industry to lie about it now Harmful methods, dragging anchors [calmer close of the verse] why all the happy bankers Oh yeah, greedy oil tankers… [Hook] Imma say namaste... Cus, damn, I'm pissed again, there's a war goin' on in the ocean And I gotta friend, who fills me in, so this, this is, more than a notion… She's a coral reef… that could use, some fucking relief Not a halfwit excuse, or chronic disbelief She's a home, a habitat, with many unique features All her connections are built for beautiful swimming creatures [outro] Let's take a moment to mourn my friend A beautiful habitat who in the end Just wanted to be home to all her friends An ecological phenomenon Phenomenal and beautiful all in one Our collective ambiguity was her mortality A little bit of oceanography Has taught me to listen to the sea The seashells talk to me Foreshadowing our own travesty
