Well, I came along to find a little peace of mind
Neglected all my duties
Stepping off that straightened line
Now I just sit by my front door
Filled with indolence and sounds
It's like I'm watching the weeds grow on my brow
And I had a pure potential and a soiled white shirt
With love enough to kill me, but was unsure of its worth...
And though the night is sweetened
By some rising of the moon
I've lived enough to know
The battle's never through...
You pass something down, no matter where or how
Will there be weeds or wildflowers affixed upon your bows
And there's a crooked burning cigarette rolling on your tongue
Will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done?
Remember, you travel through the desert
You travel to the sea
Looking out on some horizon, asking what you made of me
And we all hang around with a free untold mind
While all of our branches entwine
And as I watch the brick erode within a day
The leaves changing colors and the loft fills with hay
And as a blade of sunshine cuts across my chest
The blood beneath boils with unrest
You pass something down, no matter where or how
Will there be weeds or wildflowers affixed upon your bows
And there's a crooked burning cigarette rolling on your tongue
Will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done?
