lyrics

Can this stench be me?
Forgotten limb gone rancid
Tall man took a piece
Mother forgot to water me
How'd i get this stuck?
Against a terracotta restraint
I nod at the crack in the ceiling
It's the only way i know
To get their attention

Find me
Root bound and wilting
Find me
Perched on my window sill
Find me
Ready to escape

Ever grow tired of surviving?
Ever tried growing feet?
Have you thought of the end days?
Ever wanted to up and go?
Twenty feet below
I'll meet my friend the ivy
Climbing where it wants to go
I even saw it tear down a building.

Find me
Root bound and wilting
Find me
Perched on my window sil
Find me
Ready to escape

Knock me to the floor
And hear this clay pot smash
See me sprawled relaxed
Just another chore to avoid

Find me
