Lyrics
Oh, how I long to plant roots
But where are the labors from this empty womb?
I anxiously tend what I’ve sown
But it’s taking longer than I would have hoped

And it doesn’t change, it’s so frustrating
Now I’m asking when

Today if I’m honest, you must be asleep
So now if you’ve noticed, this feels like eternity

When will this end?

Oh, how this blight never ends
Can this season be over and new life begin?
I’m desperate to see something grow
But there’s no more time now and I’m losing hope

It feels like you’re indifferent to me
Now I’m screaming when

Today if I’m honest, you must be asleep
So now if you noticed, this feels like eternity

Maybe I’ll burn it down and watch the flames
Step back from this scorched earth and just walk away
I thought I could have it all and leave a legacy
Maybe I’ve got it wrong and it just ends with me
Maybe it just ends with me

Today I’m being honest, you must be asleep
So now, God if you’ve noticed, this feels like eternity

When will this end?
When will this end?
Oh, you must be asleep
