ANOHNI - Hopelessness

How did I become
the mother of this son?
The face and mind
and hands of virulence?

I, who curled in cave and moss
I, who gathered wood for fire
and tenderly embraced
How did I become a virus?

Hopelessness
I feel the hopelessness

I don’t care about me
I feel the animals and the trees
They got nowhere to go

I don’t care much about you
I don’t give a shit what happens to you
Now we blew it all away

Hopelessness
I feel the hopelessness

How did I become a virus?

I’ve been taking more than I deserve
Leaving nothing in...
