about

“Leave This Land” is me kind of spilling it all out and venting about everything wrong with this country. This was the most cathartic song on the album for me to write and record. When I was listening back to rough mixes, I felt the emotions starting to get pulled out of me. Then, when I was done with the final mix and listened to it by myself in the car, I bawled my eyes out, feeling every ounce of emotion in the lyrics. I felt a lot better after that.

lyrics

Can’t believe what I see
going on in this world,
this country, my own goddamn city
It’s blowing my mind all the time
how people can be so cruel,
so ignorant, so stupid and selfish.
Think of the future,
Our children
This planet
They’re driven by greed
And power
And privilege

I feel like I’m exploding inside
And powerless all of the time

I’m thankful for what I have,
but I hate this country more and more
with every word I read

Close-minded fools with their hatred
And fear of what they do not know
Open your minds and your souls

I feel anger and sadness inside
And from it I know I can’t hide

Everything wrong with our nation
Embodied in this fragile man-child
Please tell me it’s just a dream

The worst nightmare of
My generation
The American dream is a sham

Shameful conqueror
Blood on hands
Greed fueled oppression
Evil men
Leave this land

Racist nazi scum, leave this land
Right wing demagogues, leave this land
Xenophobia, leave this land
Homophobic scum, leave this land
Fundamentalists, leave this land
All misogynists, leave this land
Foes of Mother Earth, leave this land
