lyrics

I saw the outside inside
in a plant by the window.
It was growing backwards
from leaf to branch to seedling.

I prayed to God: would You take
the darkness away?

You cut me off from the vine
in your perfect time.
I wasn't bearing any fruit,
so I was of no use.

Her eyes were gold-plated lockets
like a snow-covered casket.
I’ll do all that I’m able.
Don’t be a drowning candle.

I prayed to God: would You take
her darkness away?
