lyrics

you dig your fingers in
where the ground is still soft;
shredding flowers from their beds
to lay your seed amidst the wreckage
of windswept petals, and shallow graves
i pause to way my shame
but only pause.
i am not rose that i once was.

not even a has-been,
a could-have-been maybe.
but probably just a tryhard,
cuz no one tries harder than me.
and yet you speak of blood and covenants
as if you could understand:
i'm just peeling back layers, looking for
a place to carve my name
into your skin.

why won't you just give in?
you'd understand if you could listen.
you'd understand if you would listen.
you'd understand if you'd just listen.

we will spend the best years of our lives
in a state of "not quite"
waiting for a sign
we both know won't come.
by the time you realize
'meant to be' was only a cruel lie
i will be cast in plaster, incomplete.
