BLOOM.

Let the willows bloom Dried out and decayed, planted on wasted soil No room to grow, my roots keep rotting away And as your siren song keeps raining down on my withered head It's clear to me, that I can't keep up this pathetic charade The shit you put me through to be subdued by you The pain, each day, let the willows bloom The mold beneath the bark, the parasites in the leaves Every broken branch will die off and feed the soil beneath When leaves turn into thorns, it's time for me to reflect To butcher all my regrets, to drag your weight up the hill Now I know there's no exception at all There's no balance restored, no lesson learned These patterns want you to break Break Would have been, could have been, should have been, eradicate what is left I am lost, cut me off, now you're gone, I throw up all the poison The rites you carved in me, the vows I never spoke I learned to kneel in silence, now I'm standing strong If you hear the branches scrape against the chapel roof Not all prayers ascend, you need to hear the truth Let the willows bloom Let the willows bloom The rites you carved in me were never meant to be You're gone for good, let the willows bloom
