Detach
First Blood Lyrics

All you have to do is just look around, it doesn't take much effort to realize that we have been mislead.
We have been misled as a society on how we think and interact with one another and the natural world around us.

From our connections with one another, from our connection in our kinship with every living creature on this planet.
Our connection with each other and all living creatures on earth is being overlooked and not valued as it should be.

They kill our own kind, for profit, for power, for resources, for control.
The powerful in society exploit and kill fellow human beings for their own selfish gain.

They kill other living creatures for profit, for sport.
Other living creatures are being killed and exploited for human profit and entertainment.

We kill ourselves with drugs, self destructive behavior.
Humans engage in self destructive habits and drug use that ultimately harm ourselves and others around us.
