[Verse 1: Malukah]
Blood isn't running isn't
Pumping in my heart
And now my need
For what was something is
Just something in the dark
That I can see
Is something frightening
Alive in something kind
And they were auburn
And they were hazel
And lovely powder
But now they're sable
All because
[Hook]
I keep growing
Dead flowers now
And the wind is blowing
A burning gown
Around me
I keep finding
Dead flowers now
And they're all behind me
And falling down
Around me
[Verse 2: Malukah]
The leaves are falling
And they're calling
Out my name
And all the birds
That once were singing
Are now screaming out in pain
That I can feel
The fruit is ripening
But it's rotten to the core
Pale rime enlightening
A skeleton made of ash and hoar
[Hook]
And so I
Keep growing
Dead flowers now
And they're always blooming and
Turning brown around me
I keep finding
Dead flowers now
And there's no way out
No beginning
And there's no end
They're all just dead again
[Verse 3: Malukah]
Blood isn't running isn't
Pumping in my heart
And when I sing
About the flowers I'm just
Screaming in the dark
And now I feel
The wind is blowing
And they're growing
All the time
And all the leaves
Will need to fall
Bind all the flowers
k** them all
Show me the beauty
In the air
Glow ash and ember
Everywhere
Gasping and reaving
Breaths of air
And let the beating hearts beware
[Hook]
I keep hiding
Dead flowers now
But they
Die in the thousands
A swirling cloud
Around and this
Life keeps snowing
Dead flowers now
And I see no way out
No escape
And that's why
I keep growing
Dead flowers now
And now there's
No way out
No escape
And now I see
Them growing
On their own
