Bricks that I laid
Asphalt I paved
Road I built and grew
So you wouldn't lose
Your will or your way
I've come here to say
Is crumbling in my hands
I never noticed upwards it climbed
A wall built, tall and fine
Took long enough to find
Footholds of mine
And fill them up with sand
You wanted me to stand up for you
Stand up for who
You wanted me to recognize as you
You're slipping in your shoes
New vines
Follow cracks
Feel out the grooves
Wiping clean the residue
Gripping for anything to break loose
I water slow
Tend to the growths
I let the sun shine through
I want to go
Where blossoms show
A sweeter view
So come on down
Come on down
Come on down
It's overdue
We overgrew
The beds that we made
Turned over to graves
Soil pouring over seeds
I'm sowing broken parts of me
They'll fight root and nail
Dig upwards for air
Break skin and break me free
I never noticed inward I climbed
There's something there to find
I started searching inward this time
There's something there to find
I water slow
Tend to the growths
I let the sun shine through
This time I go
Where blossoms show
A sweeter view
So come on down
Come on down
Come on down
Oh
It's overdue
We overgrew
We overgrew
Bricks that I laid
Asphalt I paved
Road I built and grew
So you wouldn't lose
Your will or your way
I've come here to say
It's overdue
We overgrew
