Overgrown Lyrics

It came up from below, little seeds that you sowed

When you were just a child, with your mother's smile

And it rose between us, so you knelt in a prayer

The tears streaming to this bed you prepared

And the silence grew like thorns through the garden

The water in the fountain had run dry

So why are we holding on

When what we had is gone

We're overgrown

So come on, let's cut it down right to the cold hard ground

We're overgrown

Well your disappointment was a poison vine

You picked its fruits and you drunk its wine

And the words unspoken, like lead in your throat

Oh the weight of your choices, bearing down on us both

Did I know nothing of the end of love

It's a hollow feeling not being enough

So why are we holding on

When what we had is gone

We're overgrown

So come on, let's cut it down right to the cold hard ground

We're overgrown

If it wasn't for your ego

You'd be fine with what you have

But you want it all forever

And you want it all so bad
