I wish I could explain...

I wish I could explain to people what I understand
about the way they hurt each other with their own two hands
and how they hurt themselves just wants me to stay far away
but still I want to share with someone... almost every day

I wish people were not so similar to cancer
if you see the big picture we don't seem to have a soul
our relationship with the host that keeps us all alive
is like a virus that has gone out of control

I wish I could explain why people do what they do
Can you really tell me and say it all makes sense to you?
Fish soil the water they live in, and animals can be forgiven
but humans are supposed to know better
so why do we act as if we don't have a clue?
I wish I could explain why people do what they do

We want infinite growth within a finite system
refusing to see the obvious lack of logic in our plan
from the environment t the economy we ignore our own entropy
the fatal flaw in humanity is the progress of man

I wish I could explain why people do what they do
Can you really tell me and say it all makes sense to you?
Fish soil the water they live in, and animals can be forgiven
but humans are supposed to know better
so why do we act as if we don't have a clue?
I wish I could explain why people do what they do

What we call progress is mostly self-destruction
and we create so many distractions to avoid the truth
Entertainment, drugs, and gambling all in mass production
chasing dreams as viable as the fountain of youth

I wish someone would see what I see, know what I know, feel the alarm
I wish someone would take their head up out of the sand
I wish someone would share honesty without pretense or self-harm
I wish I could explain to people what I understand
