| I wade through the earth,
|
| Sowing my own, bound up in discords
|
| Spread in the stones,
|
| Planting deep into ready fears.
|
| Soak in these heavy rains,
|
| Break from your chrysalis beneath the clay.
|
| Though I left you behind,
|
| I’m all the while, wanting, to make my way home.
|
| All the while, watching, to see just how you’ve grown.
|
| I’m the seeds among you, I am emerald blades
|
| With other sides and deeper shades.
|
| I’m the weeds among you, I am constriction.
|
| I’m the tightness in your chest.
|
| I could ruin you.
|
| I am the horizon, the sinking sun,
|
| I’m the buried, the believer, the tomorrow that will come.
|
| I’m the seeds among you, I am emerald blades
|
| With other sides and deeper shades.
|
| I’m the weeds among you, I am constriction.
|
| I’m the tightness in your chest.
|
| I could ruin you.
|
| I could ruin you.
|
| Convict me of the devil in the details,
|
| Of these crimes; |
| oh so meticulous were we,
|
| Of passion; |
| I’ll plead guilty.
|
| I’ll plead guilty to every taken chance.
|
| I am tangled machinery, I am wreckage.
|
| Distinguish the scars between;
|
| The pleasure as you dragged me down,
|
| Or the shards as they dragged you free.
|
| I am the knotted anchors below the ground,
|
| I’m the shadow that weighs you down.
|
| I’m the ghost on your lips, the phantom’s kiss,
|
| I’ll be the page of your book that’s missing.
|
| I’m the seeds among you, I am emerald blades
|
| With other sides and deeper shades.
|
| I’m the weeds among you, I am constriction.
|
| I’m the tightness in your chest.
|
| I could ruin you. |
