Become only

Once you sweep a seed 
Into the soil 
It’s no longer 
In your hands 

Oh if we could become 
Become only 
Oh what that 
Would look like 

But I saw you 
You stole all the stone 
From our city 
And broke them into bread 

How could you let us 
Swallow all our walls 
When you knew 
There’d be none left? 

I saw you steal 
The stones from our city 
And break them 
Into bread 
How could you let us 
Swallow all our walls 
Until we had none? 

In the name 
Of all 
That is חַי 
Destroy, destroy 

In the name 
Of all 
That is חַי 
Destroy, destroy 

In the name 
Of all 
That is חַי 
Destroy, destroy 

In the name 
Of all 
That is חַי 
Destroy, destroy 

Cause I’m okay with being desperate 
So destroy 

And when the branches are clear 
And our eyes reveal us the sky 
You have destroyed 

Til our roots run deeply 
With a hand full of seeds we become 

Weather the green tree 
Til life comes to dead vines
