Our Mother Nature's telling Nature when to sleep When to rise, when to fight, when to eat When we need shelter from the storm that's getting cold When to run away, or never run at all How to lose a loved one, and how to grieve it She lets you cry, 'cause they were all you ever needed Writhing this world, there is a balance, you can feel it We tune it out and then we wonder why we are bleeding I'm trying to feel it in the messages It's in the wind that blows, it's in the storm ahead I'm trying to make it like it used to be before society, before anxiety Yo, I can feel these little messages It's in the water's flow, it's in the fires breath I'm trying to make it like it used to be This world is crying out I hear it quietly I hear it in the messages I can feel it in these messages And I can hear it in these messages I can see it in these messages Yo Every answer on this earth is all around you "Protecting yourself" it just surrounds you And all the truth, it loses track of where it found you You start to lose all meaning And something grows inside you every single year And depression is the representation of all your fear You take prescription, make your mission disappear and You start to lose all feeling But, I'm trying to feel it in the messages It's in the wind that blows, it's in the storm ahead I'm trying to make it like it used to be, before society, before anxiety I can feel these little messages It's in the water's flow, it's in the fires breath I'm trying to make it like it used to be This world is crying out I hear it quietly I hear it in the messages I can feel it in these messages And I can hear it in these messages I can see it in these messages Amid the noise and haste There's beauty in the silence I can hear it in these messages Amid the noise and haste There's beauty in the silence It's all there in the messages I feel it in the messages

This is the room This is the wall This is the body I've been hoping for These are the words I've been longing just to say So this is my goal The aim of my life This is the feeling They warned me about Oh my God What have I done this time Oh my God What have I done this time The think that you've done You don't understand The feeling the longing The failing that's gone (Real heart stop in The arms to be Everything shouting In the new stone age) Oh my God What have I done this time Oh my God What have I done this time (We'll start living In the real stone age)
