Lyrics
These heirloom seeds from your cannister tin
Spill on the porch where the rot begins.
The almanac says it's the second of June,
I'm planting these nightshades under the moon.
You swore that a shadow would sour the plot,
So I work in the dark, hoping you forgot.
[Chorus]
Is this the heirloom blight you left behind?
A root rot of worry in the family line.
[Verse 2]
Dad always said, "That's just farmer's talk."
As he sanded the rungs of the rocking chair on the dock.
But I'm out here pruning the branches that died back,

Is this the heirloom blight you left behind?
A root rot of worry in the family line.
[Bridge]

a strange companion planting of reverence and fear.
Bolting to seed in the pacific rain.
[Chorus]
Is this the heirloom blight you left behind?
A root rot of worry in the family line.
[Outro]
Sanding this spade handle, waiting to see
If what grows is you, or what grows is me.
