self-seeding (Live) Lyrics

A tadpole's tail, a tale to be told

A tincture of time, bestest lie mother sold

Vernal pond dries, to the froglets croak

Sadness is a water wick, soil soaked defeated

Spent to long, in the shade

Pinning happiness, to cloudy days

Letting the clouds, take credit for mine

So i built me a weather machine, runs on self help and my esteem

Germinate for yourself

Shoot out roots, i swear it helps

To fill a field, with love and care

It starts with self, and then you go from there

Germinate for yourself

Send the rains, to mental health

You start to smile, you start to glow

You spread it now, so we can sow

My smile, splits a shell

Ladybugs, fill my sill

Bleach white in the sun

Seastars, sand dollars

Hygroscopic lovers

Their decay, in a garish display

But throwing them back, only makes your day

It's their death, they may want it this way

Toy with life, in your own hand

So self-serving

Germinate for yourself

Shoot out roots, I swear it helps

To fill a field, with love and care

It starts with self, and then you go from there

Germinate for yourself

Send the rains, to mental health

You start to smile, you start to glow

You spread it now, so we can sow

If my basement, begins to flood

Well, i'll pump it out

Runoff quenching, my peach tree

With a similar soak, the narcissus

Puddle jumping, i quiver

Not to fond, of sinking

Nor can i, swim that well

But the weather machine, is a submersible

In a land-locked lake, or a swimming pool

Glass of gin, or a drip of drool

Germinate for yourself

Shoot out roots, i swear it helps

To fill a field, with love and care

It starts with self, and then you go from there

Germinate for yourself

Send the rains, to mental health

You start to smile, you start to glow

You spread it now, so we can sow

So we can sow, so we can sow
