about

This is a song about environmental destruction that gets into a lot of technical details because that is what Ben was studying in school. There are a ridiculous amount of words to spit out in this song, and I am pretty sure Ben is the only one who could really do it. I feel bad about making Pat Rennick learn how to sing this one.

lyrics

Through existence Ive acquired
xeonobiotic substances becoming part of my life
who are we to question simple truths upon the loss of pride?
Shedding zero tears for what we cant completely comprehend

Leaching into magnitudes that weren't foreseen by scientists
bio-accumulation reaches toxic levels inside of fish
radioactive isotopes a cocktail for the river bed
sewer sludge, damming up, coagulated

Sitting here, asphyxiated by the gases in the atmosphere we can't filter out
would you applaud your kid for wiping his own ass?
Or move ahead incinerate the trash?
Our choice is quite limited
to what we put inside our head
toxic land supplying bread
entering the web again...

following a path of existence
through the source of the mind

its time to die from cianide
elements accumulate with nowhere left to run and hide
effluents of our demise
autotrophic by design

ominous in intellect, unaware of side effects
unparalleled in our ability to collect
garbage is burned or buried and both ways it gets into the water we drink everyday.

All things in life are not necessary for a human to exist
emerging and re-evaluating standards set by individuals under an iron fist
no regulation and less accountability for externalities of manufacturing plants
acid brings a barren land
exudating ppm

biomass decreases again
turning forest into sand
crossing species off the list
It is that which I detest
gasping for air; grasping for something to make me sane
staring down the drain....

anthropogenic leachates rendered insoluble through organic processes
intrinsic in the value of the solvent is the cost down the line

Following a path of extinction,
through the source of the mind

and so goes the story of man, scribed in stone and carved by hand
met with unmatched intelligence, ferocity guided by common sense
negative effects outweigh the benefits
using a resource as we see fit
sequestered in the cells of every living being
molecular dystrophy
