If I Miss a Deadline

lyrics

If I Miss the Deadline

The drought lasted longer than they said it would
Forgot to put these roots down deep when I could
Second chances, are they only for the meek
If I missed the cut-off, must I wilt so weak

Waste away, tar blood of fallen earth
Take these useless limbs to make way for re-birth

This moment to live, this moment to receive, this moment to give

Like children who don't wake through alarms
Still-born bee hives crumble down in swarms
Bang the gong inside, will you mourn those who did break
If I miss the deadline, can I still remake

This moment to live, this moment to receive, this moment to give

O will you lie for me, will you lie for me, my love

If I missed the cut-off, must I…?
If I missed the deadline, can I…?
Can I still remake?

This will to live
Will to live
Will to live
