"If Born From This Soil" lyrics

"If Born From This Soil"

This world is a burden
And it disgusts me
I want to deny it
Its inhabitants and their possessions
I'm embarrassed to know
This soil produced me

I'm dying to be elsewhere
Trying not to belong in a nature
Of impulse and self indulgence

A brother to none
My kinship lies elsewhere
I am separate and loyal to no one
If born from this soil

I'm embarrassed to know you;
You do not represent me
A likeness only in structure
Not in mind

I vow to never belong to anyone
Born from this soil
A people that follows blindly
Will not reprimand me
