Lyrics:

At this point in my life,
I feel the need to harvest these fields of corn that surround
My harvest lost at the price of maturity
But these remains that I've left to rot will be resurrected
Again and again

Next generation of children who want to change minds with the stationed hand
Not the only one who sees it lies in diversity
Acceptance only to a degree

The fire that once occupied my eyes
Has crawled to destroy the world that I have grown
Nothing new to scream beyond these fields
And not a second of patience to learn from them
But you're resurrected
Again and again

Harvest the crops of my past

As far as the demigods are concerned
I've sold myself out, out just the same
Burned the bridges to feign brothers
Nothing, nothing more than a simple label
Nothing more than a simple
Here I reside, the edge after all
To prove to myself that I still am
But within these fields, they'll say I never was
