Grow & Prosper Songtext
von Only Liars

My skin′s so thin, I feel like I've been see-through
The better me′s been buried with these deep roots

Underneath the apple tree I fell from
There's a list of my regrets a mile long
From summer days to the winter grays
I've still been the same, stuck here in my old ways

But god help me, cause I know that I′ve got to change

The ground where I planted a seed
It turned itself and grew a life in spite of me
But I′ve been trying every day to grow up and be unafraid
Of falling short of everything I said I'd be

I′ve run back my beaten tracks and beat myself till I'm black
Self-hatred runs too deep to cut myself some slack
All my failures still burn deep inside my soul
God help me not to turn into a black hole

But I still can change, I hold onto hope


The ground where I planted a seed
It turned itself and grew a life in spite of me
But I′ve been trying every day to grow up and be unafraid
Of falling short of everything I said I'd be
Still trying not to take this life for granted
And although sometimes I come up empty-handed
I won′t give up and won't give in, I'll move on and shed my skin
I′m learning to grow where I′m planted

Roots dug too deep with my head in the sky
Truth grows within as the years pass and die

And I wish I'd known then all that I know now
This life is a precious gift and I don′t wanna miss it
Spending all my years in doubt
Seasons change and you can't change it
Oh god, the days that I′ve wasted

The ground where I planted a seed
It turned itself and grew a life in spite of me
But I've been trying every day to grow up and be unafraid
Of falling short of everything I said I′d be
Still trying not to take this life for granted
And although sometimes I come up empty-handed
I won't give up and won't give in, I′ll move on and shed my skin
I′m learning to grow where I'm planted
