The Patient Earth

[Verse 1] I can feel the fever risin’ in the city’s veins, Smoke in the lungs, rust in the chain. Every organ hurtin’, talkin’ in pain, This old body cryin’ for change again. [Chorus] We’re just the patient, lyin’ on the table, Cut deep to heal, if we’re willin’ and able. The surgeon’s blade is mercy in disguise, Gotta hurt a little, just to stay alive. [Verse 2] The heart’s been heavy, the brain confused, The blood’s been poisoned by the lies we use. Doctor, doctor, what you gonna do? When the cure hurts worse than the truth. [Bridge] Heal the rot, heal the infection, Suture the soul with a new direction. Let the scar remind us where we’ve been, So the next time we break, we heal again. [Final Chorus] Yeah, we’re the patient, breathin’ slow and deep, Dreamin’ of a dawn that we can keep. The pain’s the proof we’re still alive— This world’s a body tryin’ to survive. [Outro] Mmm… the fever breaks, but it’ll come again. That’s the story, my friend, of how we mend.
