While The Grass Keeps Growing

Face in the window Eyes on the same old view Cracks in the pavement Clock on the wall Same two Thoughts in a circle Tracing the outlines Slow Whole world in standby You feel like you don't grow While you stare at the ceiling Somewhere the grass keeps growing Tiny green hands keep reaching Even when you don't feel you're going You think you're frozen in place Heart stuck Heavy and hollow But roots run deep Unseen And time still moves You follow While you stare at the ceiling Somewhere the grass keeps growing Screen light at midnight Scroll through the endless feed Forget that outside you Soil holds a sleeping seed Storms shake the window Rain writes on dusty glass You miss the whole story Blink once and seasons pass While you stare at the ceiling Somewhere the grass keeps growing Tiny green hands keep reaching Even when you don't feel you're going You think you're frozen in place Heart stuck Heavy and hollow But roots run deep Unseen And time still moves You follow While you stare at the ceiling Somewhere the grass keeps growing Every quiet moment Is still a turning page Even in the stillness Life slips past the cage You are more than waiting Even when you don't know Under all this aching Something learns to grow To grow While you stare at the ceiling Somewhere the grass keeps growing Tiny green hands keep reaching Even when you don't feel you're going You think you're frozen in place Heart stuck Heavy and hollow But roots run deep Unseen And time still moves You follow While you stare at the ceiling Somewhere the grass keeps growing Keeps growing
