lyrics

Cracks in concrete are rivers for ants
Dried around my feet, time turns to sand at the bottom of the glass
I was bold but now I'm blending into my surroundings
I am wearing thin

I'll stand, I'll fight, I can hear my heart tonight
I won't fade into these waves I'm wading in
Fill this broken grey, wash the doubt away
New beginnings spring forth from decay

I am nothing when nothing is near
better make something because there's nothing here
I am slow but still holding fast
No seconds makes the first times last

I'll stand, I'll fight, I can hear my heart tonight
I won't fade into these waves I'm wading in
Fill this broken grey, wash the doubt away
New beginnings spring forth from decay

You are a plant growing in the cracks of the concrete
Water the dirt around your feet, you are not a weed, the world needs you
Even if it think's it doesn't
Cause when it rains there are veins connecting everything
We're desiccated but are we fated to take away only what we bring
and how we cling to old things but it's time to activate
Sprout where you are
Take hold wherever you are

I'll stand, I'll fight, I can hear my heart tonight
I won't fade into these waves I'm wading in
Fill this broken grey, wash the doubt away
New beginnings spring forth from decay
