what a disaster we’re all in here

the world crumbles beneath and the trees curl in pain

they tear out of the ground and charge and scream

who am i to leave now?

i've staked my claim here in the sand

there's nothing back home for me and nothing here

no word matters but my own when i go down

so on my own merit i stay standing

on my own merit i won't leave this place

on my own merit i'll die here

and on my own merit i won't be saved

on nobody's judgement but my very own.
