Flower Song

I am nothing but a flower
Grown up from the earth’s desire
and you are nothing but the song
that sweetens
Well I have been grown and plucked
and you have been lush and rot
and the beauty has been since forgot
but time is the bond that thickens
Roll unto me
My sweet cherry tree
we’ll reminisce over the stars
and our hollow guitars
Roll unto me
Like the clouds over the sea
We’ll be oh so fancy free
and nothing will ever touch us
This mind of mine is often tangled
and that heart of yours is fully faithful
And where we fade is a change of scene
and season
The wind is wild but I am not
and the good is here and the bad forgot
and what we need is a place to be
and a reason
Roll unto me
My sweet cherry tree
we’ll reminisce over the stars
and our hollow guitars
Roll unto me
Like the clouds over the sea
We’ll be oh so fancy free
and nothing will ever touch us
Well I am nothing but a flower.

Dig

My mother once told me,
“less is more”
and man I know, I can be too much sometimes
but I don’t even want this, anymore
but my heart just needs something to hurt for
And so I dig
A grave for reaction
so I know that I’m still here
My father once picked me up and said,
“just walk it off”
but my feet are all twisted and, I don’t know which way to step
and i’ve been missing the ground i’ve lost
where I’ve been’s written on my face and dear,
you don’t know the cost
And so I dig
A grave for reaction
so I know that I’m still here
Cause most days I’m just the
ghost of a daydream
caught on the wrong side of fear
I’m nothing but the ghost of a daydream
You’re nothing but the afterthought of a nightmare
We don’t know too much about sound sleeps
and I swear, I swear, I swear, we were never here

Forgiving

You know we can float,
we have a ways to go
we’ll get there slow
we’ll get there slow
You know that we can hope
the summer grass will grope
your heart stings that grow
around you’re mother’s home
Won’t you be forgiving dear?
it’s all the shaky fears
that tug at your ears
can you hear them leave you alone?
oh, it’ll leave you alone
Your mother called you in last night
and your face turned cold and white
oh what did you do
to get that tone?
Your mind’s been through so much
it’s cold to the touch
won’t you let it thaw
dear, let it thaw
and plant things there,
and grow out your hair
laying in the flower beds
around your mother’s home
Won’t you be forgiving dear?
it’s all the shaky fears
that tug at your ears
can you hear them leave you alone?
oh, it’ll leave you alone
Your mother called you in last night
and your face turned cold and white
oh what did you do
to get that tone?
Think you're better off alone
Maybe I’m asking far too much
of the both of us
well there's not a whole lot to be done
And maidens will weep for you
and your cheap curfew
well at least you have your mother's home
Won’t you be forgiving dear?
it’s all the shaky fears
that tug at your ears
can you hear them leave you alone?
oh, it’ll leave you alone
Your mother called you in last night
and your face turned cold and white
what did you do
to get that tone?
'Least you have your mother's home.
