Sword & Seed - Beast of Burden

Beast of burden
Carry these bones home
'Cause I am tired and I don't know why
And I tried to fit you through a needle's eye
And I'm sorry

Beast of beauty
Who keeps not his gifts from fools
I pushed you so hard that your muscles burned
And you waited all that time in hopes I'd learn
Strength is to sit still and wait and yearn

And like you told me
I bought that field last fall
And I wanted fruit so bad but nothing would grow
So I buried all my pearls in hopes that you'd know
I am weak but I want you the most

And I have a sword I could use
Yet you say that I'll have to choose
If I want to sow seeds or slay all my ghosts
I am weak, but I want you the most
