Love Nature? Love Yourself? Lyrics

I love nature but do I know it well?

Do I really love the stories it can tell?

I love puppies but not snakes that hiss

Sweeping vistas all forms of water's kiss

Sunny days at the beach my soul they reach

Yet insects' encroachment their presence impeach

What nature vibes you the wrong way?

A question for every nature lover to weigh

Parasites and weeds viruses that spread

Rats in the shadows our fears they embed

But most of all do we hate ourselves?

We are nature it's where our spirit dwells

The dichotomy's false it's clear to see

To love the other out there love the other in me

Progressive minds speak of saving the Earth

Profess their love for nature their spiritual rebirth

But give them a chance they might confess

Wiping out humanity would be their success

They see us as a virus nature's true enemy

Yet do they love people in their grand decree?

Their politics echoes a depressive state

Deflecting self-hate to nature's fate

Parasites and weeds viruses that spread

Rats in the shadows our fears they embed

But most of all do we hate ourselves?

We are nature it's where our spirit dwells

The dichotomy's false it's clear to see

To love the other out there love the other in me

In their ivory towers guilt-ridden and high

They'd pay the price while others die

Energy markets agricultural strains

Their policies impose causing widespread pains

To love nature not through cravings and fears

Not desires and obfuscations but through the tears

To love her as she really is

Embrace the truth the eternal bliss

Parasites and weeds viruses that spread

Rats in the shadows our fears they embed

But most of all do we hate ourselves?

We are nature it's where our spirit dwells

The dichotomy's false it's clear to see

To love the other out there love the other in me

Can we love ourselves embrace our own nature?

Learn that humanity's not an invader

The love for the planet starts from within

Do we really know where true love begins?

Do we really love nature?

Do we really know nature?

The answer lies in how we love ourselves
