lyrics

War in my belly, war in my brain
I am like some kind of mushroom to feel this way
My roots go down into the earth and swell their veins

In the forest a lithe hunter, the cell that invades
They are me and my hunger wars at them
I seek to fill myself as everything does the same
As I grow outwards, a fire spreading

In the shade I will linger, resting from the sun
The stare of heavens couldn't move me, move me to be born
I reach inside my gut to leak the foam of war
I'm steeled and ready, a pregnant warrior

Grow, grow, grow, grow, grow, grow, grow
I'd like to think we grow together
Like so many threads woven strong
And I feel like the weakest one
When I decompose the soil

War in the earth, war of the heart
Is it our nature to war, to war and war apart
From all the pretty things we claim to want to be
So I ask you...
For whom do you bleed?
