LET THE GRASS GROW Lyrics
I wait for the morning tide, the oceans to rise
But I lay here broken, too heavy to float
I'm an emotionless wreck
So I tell myself this lie, I'm not scared to die
Make mole hills of mountains, there's gold in this ground
But I ain't found it yet
[Pre-Chorus]
So I leave before you go
'Cause there's no tears when it's my fault
This self sabotage, all of our other scars don't compare
[Chorus]
Take the river to the sea
Drown myself so I don't sink
Find my peace there underneath, the hurricane
Break a promise so I can leave
Burn a forest so I can sleep
Lay my headstone, let the grass grow over me
[Verse 2]
There's nothing to fill this void
Start turning into sorrows
So I lay here soaking the sand in my bed
What a day to regret
So I leave before you go
'Cause there's no tears when it's my fault
This self sabotage, all of our other scars don't compare (Oh, oh)
[Chorus]
Take the river to the sea
Drown myself so I don't sink
Find my peace there underneath, the hurricane
Break a promise so I can leave
Burn a forest so I can sleep
Lay my headstone, let the grass grow over me
[Outro]
We didn't make a difference
And we thought we were different
Hey, oh-oh
Ooh-woah, ooh-woah

The concept [is about] where I thought the Earth was going-feeling helpless seeing the Earth declining with the environment and climate
change, and the only way to give back is to give yourself to the Earth. I just thought it was a beautiful concept. It’s definitely one of the darker songs I’ve written.
when i was writing this song with @pjhardingmusic we were talking about the things that keep us up at night. we went on to talk about what direction we think the world was heading in, which was a pretty complex concept to fit into a song. this is my take on that feeling, to ME the songs theme is really just to not force nature and let everything natural happen to us. it’s dark, but it’s a real thought i have quite often. i’m really proud of this song because i feel like it shows a different side of me that i haven’t put into my music yet and gives u a lil insight into what i think about at night haha, hope u guys like it :)
