lyrics

On weekends I search for little seeds of wisdom
Pull what’s not needed, repeat, rake through,
Yeah I’m a sinner but it’s the work of finding peace here,
Of finding me here, or something new.

Nothing in those seven-day weeks,
those floodlit streets
could give me what I need.
Maybe if I dig deep enough into the soil,
underneath the weeds,
pulling ragwort on the Sabbath.

My children have already almost forgotten
They can take root here, shaped by the stone.
The city might as well be a simulation
but if you cracked me open you’d see its code
and it only lets me go a Sunday,
pulling ragwort on the Sabbath.
