lyrics

Not a reward for good work done
Just a preview of what’s to come
Excavate, then plant
Some will wither, but some will grow
Never plant anything in straight rows
Always keep a few seeds in your pocket
And breathe, and breathe

And the voices inside your head, put them under the ground instead
Oh, the voices in your head…

Time to gather the exiles in
All the fragments that never fit in
Will find their place
New convergences on the way
Endless generation on parade
Let it ride, step aside
And breathe, and breathe

And the voices inside your head, put them under the soil instead
Oh, the voices in your head…

Not a reward for good work done
Just a down payment…on what’s to come
