Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You can look at a rose
Just any rose
Accept that it's perfect
Let it dry on the wall
But what is its purpose?
What is its purpose?
[Instrumental]
I could take in your eyes
Still never know
Bathe in the wind
To just watch it blow
To find that it's curtains
It's curtains for me
It's curtains for me
It's curtains
[Instrumental]
You were covered in ash
Holding our bones
Called out their names
The words just felt cold
You never came home
You never came home
[Instrumental]
Did I harbor the truth?
Was I talking in tongues?
Smoke covers my eyes
Covers the sun
Did you learn how to run?
Twisted up pines
It's carved itself in
Scars
[Bridge]
I could take on the lies
Admit that I'm wrong
There was a place
Did you look to throw stones?
To build up a wall
To hide yourself in
To hide yourself in
Will you hide?
[Instrumental]
I could look at a rose
Unlike any rose
Petals will fall
How will it grow?
How you look at the surface
Just flowers mixed with leaves
Flowers mixed with leaves
Flowers
