Ultraloud - Grow Lyrics

Simple little seeds
Fall onto the ground
And long to burst and breathe
As they sink into the soil
Harmless little weeds
Push up through the ground
Unfold and spread their leaves
As the sun begins to boil

Plant it in the heart and
Soon you'll see its nature show
It won't stop now that it's started
Sucking water- watch it grow

New fluorescent green
Crawls across the ground
Spilling over everything
And swallowing your sight
Thorns make you bleed
As they poison you inside
This isn't what it seemed
Let go of all you know is right

Plant it in the heart and
Soon you'll see its nature show
It won't stop now that it's started
Sucking water- watch it grow

Roots run through the dirt
Digging deep into the earth
They split and stretch and search
To quench their endless thirst
Tangling vines
Twist and travel up your spine
Slide in wherever they can find
To squeeze and suffocate your mind

I must have fell asleep
Buried under branch and vine
Wake up to a jungle deep
Cut my way through and climb
Towering trees
A forest far as you can see
How did all this come to be?
No trace of what once lay beneath

Plant it in the heart and
Now you see its nature show
It won't stop now that it's started
Sucking water- watch it

Plant it in the heart and
Now you see its nature show
It'll never stop now that it's started
Sucking water- watch it grow
