lyrics

Take this seed
Take it to the well
Smell the flower grow up high
as the roots head down where none can tell

Take my word
Keep it always in mind
Pride can fill your eyes with joy
Fill them up until you're blind

Take a bite
Work down to the bone
Let the juice caress your tongue
and taste the guilt alone

Take what's left
Throw it to the waves
Hear them crash and fade away
Sinking to their watery graves

Take a jump
Jump into the sea
Feel the water in your hair
and your lungs when you breathe
