Overgrown

And I don't want you to know

I took it with me

But when things are thrown away like they are daily

Time passes in the constant state

So if that is how it is

I don't wanna be a star

But a stone on the shore

Long door, frame the wall

When everything's overgrown

But what she really really wanted was my rights in the rooms

And I wouldn't understand that I would try to play along

And I wouldn't understand that I would try to play along

And I wouldn't understand that I would try to play along

You cannot contain a bamboo plant

No matter the size of the pot

His roots will run and run, pushing the soil out

Til there’s nothing left but strangled potential

Hail God of Growth

Hail Skyward Reed

Hail Master of the Green

Hail Lord of Unstoppable Root on Stone

Hail Master Moss

Hail Sloshy Swamp

Hail Fetid Fen

Patient heron steps

Autumn hunt down in the reeds

Winter’s chorus soon
