lyrics

The Weed

I am a weed, thriving on barren earth
living in the spaces you forgot to spray
with reason,
and in your neatly ordered gardens
I will grow
as your denial digs me deeper into every furrow
of thought.

In undesirable places
my seeds take hold,
bright yellow flowers accentuate
cracks in ordered minds,
and you stamp on my face
cover the ground, deny sunlight.
But I am that thought in your head that will not go away
I can wait
I can wait
for just one single drop of rain to fall my way
and I will grow
I grow with a strength, a persistence
that scares you
you who chooses pretty flowers to match your exciting thoughts
you who tend exotic plants that wilt with the day
you who digs, who toils, who gardens.

I do not need you to survive
when your back is turned I blossom
when the water is scarce I flourish.
I sit with my face to the baking sun
an apparition blown apart
as the earth becomes dust knowing
that I will always live to see another day.
