I’m having a hard time with legacy

I hear its like a garden you plant but you’ll never see

So put me in the dirt and maybe I’ll be a little less young and a little more evergreen

But my roots are so shallow I don’t know if I can handle digging deeper through the soil to stand another day in the clay

And my roots are so shallow I don’t know if I can handle digging deeper through the soil just to stand another day in the rain

But tell me you’ll stay and tell me you’d wait for me to give you all the shade you need

Will you hear me in the leaves when the breeze blows

Is it whispering my name

Or hav I rotted through the poison in my veins

Im pushing flowers up the same

But my roots are so shallow I don’t know if I can handle digging deeper through the soil to stand another day in the clay

And my roots are so shallow I don’t know if I can handle digging deeper through the soil just to stand another day in the rain

But tell me you’ll stay and tell me you’d wait for me to give you all the shade you need
