Evergreen

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 whеn the breeze blows
Is it whispering my namе
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
