why did you separate me from the earth?

Singer:anohni

why did you separate me from the earth?

oh my god

why did you separate me from the earth?

my father

you drew lines miles high

in steel or nuclear

the forests of borneo

white water in your mouth

i don't want your future

i'll never return

i'll be born into the past

i'm never coming home

why did you separate me

me from the earth?

what did you stand to gain?

why did you separate me from the earth?

the rotten bodies threaded gold

the pitch of hair and sticky meat

the sea life cut with plastic

a white cross gilded gold

a case of white doves

laying in the boiling snow

a sharp knife of concrete

the blue line of tuna's throat

i don't want your future

i'm never

i'm never coming home

i don't want your future

i'll be born before you're born

why did you separate me

me from the earth?

what did you have to gain?

why did you separate me from the earth?

what did you have to gain?

why did you separate me from the earth?

what did you have to gain?
