The Sower Lyrics
I wade through the earth,
Sowing my own, bound up in discords
Spread in the stones,
Planting deep into ready fears.
Soak in these heavy rains,
Break from your chrysalis beneath the clay.
Though I left you behind,
All the while, wanting, to make my way home.
All the while, watching, to see just how you've grown.
I'm the seeds among you, I am emerald blades
With darker sides and deeper shades.
I'm the weeds among you, I am constriction.
I'm the tightness in your chest.
I could ruin you.
I am the horizon, the sinking sun,
I'm the buried, the believer, the tomorrow that will come.
I'm the seeds among you, I am emerald blades
With darker sides and deeper shades.
I'm the weeds among you, I am constriction.
I'm the tightness in your chest.
I could ruin you.
I could ruin you.
Convict me of the devil in the details,
Of these crimes, oh so meticulous were we,
Of passion, I'll plead guilty.
I'll plead guilty to every taken chance.
I am tangled machinery, I am wreckage.
Distinguish the scars between,
The pleasure as you dragged me down,
Or the shards as they dragged you free.
I am the knotted anchors below the ground,
I'm the shadow that weighs you down.
I'm the ghost on your lips, the phantom's kiss,
I'll be the page of your book that's missing.
I'm the seeds among you, I am emerald blades
With darker sides and deeper shades.
I'm the weeds among you, I am constriction.
I'm the tightness in your chest.
I could ruin you.
Sowing my own, bound up in discords
Spread in the stones,
Planting deep into ready fears.
Soak in these heavy rains,
Break from your chrysalis beneath the clay.
Though I left you behind,
All the while, wanting, to make my way home.
All the while, watching, to see just how you've grown.
With darker sides and deeper shades.
I'm the weeds among you, I am constriction.
I'm the tightness in your chest.
I could ruin you.
I'm the buried, the believer, the tomorrow that will come.
With darker sides and deeper shades.
I'm the weeds among you, I am constriction.
I'm the tightness in your chest.
I could ruin you.
Of these crimes, oh so meticulous were we,
Of passion, I'll plead guilty.
I'll plead guilty to every taken chance.
Distinguish the scars between,
The pleasure as you dragged me down,
Or the shards as they dragged you free.
I'm the shadow that weighs you down.
I'm the ghost on your lips, the phantom's kiss,
I'll be the page of your book that's missing.
With darker sides and deeper shades.
I'm the weeds among you, I am constriction.
I'm the tightness in your chest.
I could ruin you.

"“The Sower” is about the responsibility that comes with being in love with someone–you’re accountable for two hearts, two minds and two people’s happiness. Music takes you away from home for long periods of time so it’s a lot to take on and something you can never take for granted. You become a part of someone else and it’s the most amazing thing in the world, but it doesn’t come easily. Musically this song was actually completed as an acoustic track before it became full band and I really like the way that influenced the flow of the song."
