Transplanted

from SPEAKS by Critic, The Cannibal

lyrics

Take me into the garden where I was sprouted and water my thirsty soul.
Beneath the dirt and earthworms to where my heart yearns for my roots to hold.
I can’t breathe with this disease.
Save me from my depression and my decision to wrestle with contempt.
Break me of my aggression, teach me salvation so that I may repent.
Lay me down, my spirit cannot rest within this barren ground.
Lifeless.
I seek peace, but my dreams never grant me sleep.
I was born of the earth and to the earth I return.
From the womb I was birthed, into the womb of the urn.
From ashes to ashes and dust into dust,
Us thieves fall prey to the mouth of the moth and the greed of the rust.
Transplant my spirit into the garden where it was sprouted and water my thirsty soul.
Beneath the dirt and earthworms to where my heart yearns for my roots to take hold.
