A Place for Owls - broken open seed Lyrics

A broken open seed, imagine me
Lying 'neath the ground all covered in leaves
Still, there are wars we wage
Against everything we've made
When everything's asleep
It's catching up with me, the symmetry
Of everything on earth that lives and breathes
The very voice of earth
That groans beneath the dirt
When everything's asleep
I've been waiting for sunlight
And for dawn to approach
And, my Lord, it's a long night
And the smoke hung like ghosts
So I'll rub my face
And the scales will fall away
When everything's asleep
I'm waking up the trees, the suffering
The glory and the grace the eye can see
I'd rather die tonight
Than live a life with vacant eyes
When everything's asleep
A broken open seed, imagine me
Lying 'neath the ground all covered in leaves
The very voice of earth
That groans beneath the dirt
When everything's asleep
Everything's asleep
Everything but me
