Breaking Ground

(Renata Youngblood)
06-2006
R. Youngblood
tension is thick
i try to think quick but i know
i'm so damn slow
quietly the metaphors keep banging
on my bedroom door
in some sort of language
i've never heard before
i'm just an immigrant
tending to your foreign soil
just trying to somehow
earn your praise
i've got a temporary visa
i've put my faith in you so please now
don't let this go

(chorus:)
trying to lick my wounds
trying to sing off tune
telling my lies
to the moon
trying to push more than shove
trying to make sence of my love
there room inside my heart
we could call that place a start
and go from there
but you best beware
things may only look good
from there

ooo but it's so easy
to let it go and then so hard
to forget
i think i'm gonna lose this bet
i've put my money down
i'm a wetback
i'm a fool
i'm breaking every single rule
along my way
but if you're paying close attention
i've got so much left to mention
should you choose to stay

(chorus)

breaking ground
breaking ground ground ground
can you hear the sound
of breaking ground

(chorus)
