lyrics

Waiting for
restlessness
is like waiting on a severed limb
To be sewn on
so you can keep
living

My selflessness is not what is desired
but you can't choke a flame
by starting
other fires
You need water
and lack of
air
and lots of time spent weeding the garden

We're sick and wasted
because this house is not a home
and all the time was spent up
weeding
a garden not our own
