Flowers

I know I'm chasing shadows

And I know it's not fair

I can only focus

On the things that aren't there

Whatever was broken

Hasn't been set quite right

All the ice inside me

Still holds me at night

If I tell myself I can't be saved

Maybe I can learn to breathe the flames

I hope that my tracks will spell my name

But I won't look back in time

I'll need the ocean to wash away

The painted windows I can't see

Through

I'll wear flowers in my hair

Let me live the way that I see clear

If it's in the past I've

Locked it up by now

All the shards of empathy

Have died out

Wanted electricity

But my feet touched the ground

If you want a current

Then you have to swim out

I know that I'll always save myself

Even with the vines holding me down

I hope that my tracks will spell my name

But I won't look back in time

I'll need the ocean to wash away

The painted windows I can't see

Through

I'll wear flowers in my hair

Let me live the way that I see clear

If I tell the world I can't be saved

Maybe they'll miss me when I'm away

If I let my thoughts grow into place

Maybe I can find another way

I hope that my tracks will spell my name

But I won't look back in time

I'll need the ocean to wash away

The painted windows I can't see

Through

I'll wear flowers in my hair

Let me live the way that I see clear

And I'll wear flowers in my hair

Let me live the way that I see clear
