Hard Ground Lyrics

You showed me love

But taught me fear

A God above

That you could not fully hear

Through screams of hate

And graveside tears

And dropping bombs

I guess the message was not clear

It must have been hard

For you to feel...

Love is something I once knew

But as my body grew

Love did not grow too

A boot stomped my fertile soil

No matter how they toiled

The seeds would not take root

Late nights spent

Hearing you play

Piano keys

Well that was one such way

That I could feel

What was in your heart

That you push down

So till this day I play

Cause that is my way

That I can feel...

Love is something I once knew

But as my body grew

Love did not grow too

A boot stomped my fertile soil

No matter how they toiled

The seeds would not take root

I'm not a psychopathic fool

I'm not the Devil's mindless tool

This ain't the way

You'll never feel any better

You've grown a shell

That can withstand any weather

You block out the rain

And with it all the pain

But ain't it a shame

That when you block the rain

You block the Sun

Just the same?

Love is something I once knew

But as my body grew

Love did not grow too

A boot stomped my fertile soil

No matter how I toil

The seeds will not take root
