As the First of the Flowers Bloom

from Ophelia (EP) by A Flower in Disguise

/

lyrics

For the sake of expression
There is no perfection
I collapse in
Don’t save me
For the sake of expression
There is no perfection
I collapse in ideals

To curse or enchant
The haunted and the blessed walk the same ground
A part of death lives in you
Day by day it grows
Sprouting mushrooms in your wounds
Nourishment lies in your ruin
Learning as the first of the flowers bloom
The universe expanded another sun and moon
Open eyes adjust to the reality, no gloom

I can’t and I won’t be saved
That’s what’s best for me
To live out my sorrow on borrowed time
Dancing and crying until I die
There’s no changing my mind
A masochist I break myself down
The sadist like you taught me how to frown
To bow so low my face touched the grown
Breaking my spirit to make you comfortable
Now I’m not one for compromising
Deconstructing me

For the sake of expression
There is no perfection
I collapse in
Don’t save me
For the sake of expression
There is no perfection
I collapse in ideals

I forgot the grain of salt
Tell me how feel
Tell me what’s real
Living to the fullest you know how
Show me like you know how, you know how
I forgot I grain of salt

To curse or enchant
The haunted and the blessed walk the same ground
A part of death lives in you
Day by day it grows
Sprouting mushrooms in your wounds
Nourishment lies in your ruin
As the first of the flowers bloom
The universe expanded another sun and moon
Open eyes adjust to the reality, no gloom
The beauty of the truth

I can’t and I won’t be saved
That’s what’s best for me
To live out my sorrow on borrowed time
Dancing and crying until I die
There’s no changing my mind
A masochist I break myself down
The sadist like you taught me how to frown
To bow so low my face touched the grown
Breaking my spirit to make you comfortable
Now I’m not one for compromising
