Weeding (Live at the Hive) Lyrics

How do I prioritize

The troubles in my life

And those of the times

Constantly compromising

So is this the deal

Does it make sense

That when the ideal meets the real

We settle for much less

Than what we had in mind

Ceaselessly sacrificing

Sifting through

The good and bad

But who knows what gems

Might slip through the cracks

There's just too much

To learn and forget

Just seeing what sticks

And what gets left

In the valley of debt

At what cost do we reach the summit

How evenly

Are the flowers and the weeds

Spaced between

The withered and their seeds

Last time you checked

Weeding

Trying to get it right

With each one you rip out

Another one grows overnight

What unsung work it is

Just to maintain

Balance in a mind field

When it won't stop raining

How do I prioritize

What grows from within

And what seeps in from outside

There's just too much

To learn and regret

But there's just some things

You never can forget

But isn't it better yet

Than to completely numb your conscience
