I grow branches, I follow the Sun Reaching blindly beyond The frontier of my skin Stories & wishes in your hands: Let them slip between your fingers Like seeds onto the wind Roots soak up the fallen And sing them into blooms Grown heavy with leaves and fruits I will one day become like you Oh, I need your fire, I need that flame Give me flight and light the way I am calling your name, oh— Oh my love, Oh my darling I won't let you be erased I won't let you be erased Oh my love, Oh my angel I won't let you be erased I won't let you be erased Heart divides into vessels Tree into limbs My spirit is fragmented— Surface only skimmed They will distort your face Put others in your place Until your story's blotted out of view I know you're all around Above and underground; Why do I feel I am so far from you? Bullets, turn to seeds! Leaves, shoot from the barrel! Beneath the pounding boots A thousand seeds are taking root She takes two lungs full of smoke And sighs roses Two lungs full of smoke And sighs roses (roses)
