Sympathy Seed

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Under the pressure of too much knowledge I splinter and shatter alone in the sun What should I wish for afraid of the voltage Under each surface a new skeleton [Verse 2] Life is as brittle as bitter belief In the love I don't have and the people I've missed All this and more is the dream most familiar To those of us misanthropic in our midst [Chorus] And I lie here awake in the dark of the daylight Insipid with wanting embittеred with need And I do not possess what I wish I werе filled with Wish I were filled with the sympathy seed…the sympathy seed [Verse 3] People of my kind are afraid of everything We fear the color of life on our skin I fear the yellow that insects encircle Sunflowers golden and fragrant with sin [Chorus] And I lie here awake in the dark of the daylight Insipid with wanting embittered with need And I do not possess what I wish I were filled with Wish I were filled with the sympathy seed…the sympathy seed [Chorus] And I lie here awake in the dark of the daylight Insipid with wanting embittered with need And I do not possess what I wish I were filled with Wish I were filled with the sympathy seed…the sympathy seed [Outro] Yes I lie here awake in the dark of the daylight Insipid with wanting embittered with greed And I do not possess what I wish I were filled with Wish I were filled with the sympathy seed…the sympathy seed
