Dead Flowers lyrics

[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 auburn)
And they were hazel (And they were hazel)
And lovely powder (And lovely powder)
But now they're sable, all because

[Chorus: Malukah]
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 (Rotten to the core)
Pale rime enlightening, a skeleton made of ash and hoar

[Chorus: Malukah]
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 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, kill them all
Show me the beauty in the air
Glow ash and ember everywhere
Gasping and reeving breaths of air
And let the beating hearts beware

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Malukah]
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 way out)
No escape, and that's why I keep growing dead flowers now
And now there's no way out (No way out)
No escape, and now I see them growing on their own
