yeah, you're right

animal planet replaces animals
planet earth replaces earth
numbers are neat
they replace all the dirt
that collects beneath fingernails
atop the empty lots where homes and families were derailed
over the bodies, dead, for what?
it's social injustice swept under the rug
yes you got it right
theres no room for us
theres no room for the people willing to make a fuss
"where i am"
you're somewhere printed on a page
in this day and age
we must consolidate
until we lose track of what we were trying to save
