lyrics

I keep plucking the seeds
Of these pomegranates that you gave to me
I scoop them out
I put them all swirling inside of my mouth
Sometimes I hold them in
Afraid that I’ll choke
But it’s hard to taste seeds
When they fall right down your throat

My mother always told me
“Don’t eat the seeds”
But I was hoping something would grow inside of me
My mother always told me
“Those seeds will take root”
But are pomegranates seeds
Or are they fruit?

Pomegranates line my entire window sill
I’m trying to eat them all
I’ve got a whole stomach to fill
You told me they were sweet
And I believed what I heard
So I swallowed them whole
Just like I swallowed your every word


My mother always told me
“Don’t eat the seeds”
But I was hoping something would grow inside of me
My mother always told me
“Those seeds will take root”
But are pomegranates seeds
Or are they fruit?

I keep swallowing these seeds
Devouring them whole
Swallowing these seeds that I want so badly to grow

Devouring the seeds that I want to take root
But none of them ever sprout
And I didn’t even taste the fruit


My mother always told me
“Don’t eat the seeds”
But I was hoping something would grow inside of me
My mother always told me
“Those seeds will take root”
But are pomegranates seeds
Or are they fruit?
