Floraison

(album: Yonder - 2022)

The sun set so fast
The day has all but passed
The sky turns to overcast
The earth orbits us
A flower blooms in rust
And once made, will never abandon us

Like a flower dead in the rain
It's gonna take some time for me to bloom again
Plant me in the shade (Plant me in the shade)
Like a petal plucked out of place
I'm gonna follow the wind and float off into space
I am flourishing (I am flourishing)

(I am flourishing, no)
Why aren't you flourishing?
Just grow

Take it one step at a time
Never know what you could find
Until these parables and syllables have entered your mind
Plant a seed just to watch it decline
Everyone is born just to die
There's no such thing as making up for lost time

The sun set so fast
The day has all but passed
The sky turns to overcast
The earth orbits us
A flower blooms in rust
And once made, will never return to dust

Like a flower dead in the rain
It's gonna take some time for me to bloom again
Plant me in the shade (Plant me in the shade)
Like a petal plucked out of place
I'm gonna follow the wind and float off into space
I am flourishing (I am flourishing)

Yeah, now that I'm flourishing
Now that I'm flourishing, will I grow?

Take it one step at a time
Never know what you could find
Until these parables and syllables have entered your mind
Plant a seed just to watch it decline
Everyone is born just to die
There's no such thing as making up for lost time

The sun set so fast
The day has all but passed
The sky turns to overcast
The earth orbits us
A flower blooms in rust
And once made, will never abandon us
And once made it will never abandon us, us

So damn tired of throwing caution to the wind
I need a life worth living that I've never lived
I plant them all like thoughts in a flower bed
But I know I've gotta cut the roots if they're already dead

Even if bliss breeds ignorance
I'll find the right path and I will stick to it
Even I've gotta walk through the rain to see the sun again
Even I've gotta walk through the rain, I will see the sun again

Even if bliss breeds ignorance
I'll find the right path and I will stick to it
Even I've gotta walk through the rain to see the sun again
Even I've gotta walk through the rain, I will see the sun again

Like a flower dead in the rain
It's gonna take some time for me to bloom again
Plant me in the shade (Plant me in the shade)
Like a petal plucked out of place
I'm gonna follow the wind and float off into space
I am flourishing (I am flourishing)

(I am flourishing, I am flourishing, I am flourishing)

I am flourishing
(I will see the sun again)
I will see the sun again
