I woke up one morning with a seed in my heart And an incurable inability to ever let it grow I held it in my palms Cupped and concealed in overgrown cowardice And it never broke past the spaces between my fingers Or through the holes in my heart I held a seed in my heart When my heart couldn't hold anything else Waiting for it to spread it wings I watered it in the stormy procession Of four in the mornings and twenty years laters And I woke up one day just a seed In the heart of... this? With a resolute inability to ever grow

I woke up one morning with a seed in my heart And an incurable inability to ever let it grow I held it in my palms Cupped and concealed in overgrown cowardice And it never broke past the spaces between my fingers Or through the holes in my heart I held a seed in my heart When my heart couldn't hold anything else Waiting for it to spread it wings I watered it in the stormy procession Of four in the mornings and twenty years laters And I woke up one day just a seed In the heart of... this? With a resolute inability to ever grow
