Interspersed in the song are some Octavia Butler quotes. In the chorus are two quotes from her writing (Page 2 of this PDF antiableistcomposition.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/octavia_ebutlera_few_rules_.pdf )

The song ends with a prayer from her book Parable of the Sower.
"All that you touch you change
All that you change changes you
The only lasting truth is change
God is Change"

lyrics

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
How close is too close
To be to somebody
How far is too far
To be from yourself
What’s the reward for
Being a good person
And whats the solution
For those who don’t care?

(Chorus)
The solution x2

“I didn’t make up the problems. All I did was look around at the problems we’re neglecting now and give them about 30 years to grow into full fledged disasters.”

(Verse 2)
How bad is too bad
Before you stop trying
Stultified spirit
You’re no longer there
Is there a memory
You use to keep going
That’s the first thing
They’ll take from you i swear

(Chorus)

The solution x2

“I mean there’s no single answer that will solve all of our future problems. There’s no magic bullet. Instead there are thousands of answers—at least. You can be one of them if you choose to be.”

(Bridge)
[p1] I’m not intimidated
I’m so fucking intimidated
[p2]: They can kill us x5
But they won’t get rid of us x2
[p3] The solution x2

(Verse 3)
Knowing some history
Does not make you metal
War is war well before
Bombs hit the bed
And if we forget
Where we were when night fell
Who will remember
we were there at all?

[Chant]
All that you touch you change
All that you change changes you
The only lasting truth is change
God is Change
God is Change
