The Bright Side

Dee: I can't - Am I supposed to know what's right and wrong? Whose side would I have to take? Look at you! I love you more than anything else in the entire universe! But your way of life is a mass extinction event! Should I care about that? Should I do anything? I could probably build new energy sources... or be one, I don't know... or take over your stupid economy and put the money wherever I like - give it to all the humans who aren't like this, maybe? But what if there's some moral value in you learning from your mistakes and fixing it yourselves? And I still don't know it it's even wrong - Am I supposed to care about extinction? I hate it but does any of this even matter? You're doing it by accident - well. Mostly... You're trying pretty hard to exterminate the Guinea worms...
Emily: The what?
Dee: Guinea worms. They're... a parasite, I get why you wouldn't want one in you, but they're just living their lives...

I hear you’ve been out there looking for something to love
There’s a dark force that shifts at the edge of the trees
It’s all right! It’s all right!
Well, you’ve turned so long and lovely it’s hard to believe
That we’re falling now in the name of the Anthrocene
O the things we love we love we love, we lose
