The Sower Songtext
von Hands Like Houses

I wade through the earth
Sowing my own, bound up in discard
Spread in the stones
Planting deep into ready fears
Soak in these heavy rains
Break from your chrysalis beneath the clay
Though I leave you behind
All the while I′m wanting, to make my way home
All the while, watching, to see just how you've grown

I′m the seeds among you, I am emerald blades
With other sides and deeper shades
Oh I'm the weeds among you, I am constriction
I'm the tightness in your chest
I could ruin you

I am the horizon, the sinking sun
I′m the buried, the believer, the tomorrow that will come


I′m the seeds among you, I am emerald blades
With other sides and deeper shades
Oh I'm the weeds among you, I am constriction
I′m the tightness in your chest
I could ruin you
I could ruin you

(Convict me) of the devil in the details
(Of these crimes) oh so meticulous were we
(Of passion) I'll plead guilty
I′ll plead guilty to every taken chance

I am tangled machinery, I am wreckage
Distinguish the scars between
The pleasure as you dragged me down
Or the scars as they dragged you free
I am the knotted anchors below the ground
I'm the shadow that weighs you down
I′m the ghost on your lips, the phantom's kiss
I'll be the page of your book that′s missing
Ooo, that′s missing

I'm the seeds among you, I am emerald blades
With other sides and deeper shades
Oh I′m the weeds among you, I am constriction
I'm the tightness in your chest
I could ruin you
