In Lieu Of Flowers

(альбом: How's The Heart? - 2023)

In lieu of flowers we grow
Death as a peace of mind
I hold these dreams on my own

Let it run away, the serpent's on my fucking back
Spit the venom to my heart to bring the doom back
At curtain call tonight I search for the exit light
Like night after night, oh will we ever survive

The fucked up fire in me
Needs you, the light in me

The valentine in me
Wants you to reign with me
That little bite on me
Wants you so dire with

In lieu of flowers I can send myself
With the bloom of the flowers you can send me away
As above, so below
Devotion and hope keep me crawling back to you

Was it triggered right along when we were young?
I refused to see but the light of the sun
Might've pulled a card from a pack that's full of broken hearts
Might've tried too hard, no
Did I ever let you know?

This fucked up mind in me
Needs your sunlight within

In lieu of flowers I can send myself
With the bloom of the flowers you can send me away
As above, so below
Devotion and hope keep me crawling back to you

In lieu of flowers I can send myself
With the bloom of the flowers you can send me away
As above, so below
Never let go 'cause your world holds the bloom of me

Love has the death of me
Love has the death of me on hold

And in lieu of these flowers
If I, if I just let you go
I can send myself
With the bloom of the flowers you can send me away
As above, so below
Devotion and hope keep me crawling back to you

In lieu of flowers I can send myself
With the bloom of the flowers you can send me away
As above, so below
Never let go 'cause your world holds the bloom of me
