Lyrics
Ascension
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We sat in silence
I spoke of leaving
And from the floor, I tried to crawl away
With my arms all but succeeding
I'll water your grave and watch it grow
Into a bed of lies you sewed in life
Living long after you are gone
All in all, we're dust and bone
So we'll dig our graves before we're old enough to
Lie in them
We'll spread our ash amongst the dirt
To soil the seed that breeds the earth
So we can live again
So wait for me to bloom
Stay
We're a garden fed from the blood
Left in your veins
So stay with me or I'll shrivel and dry out
Wait for me to bloom
Stay
We're a garden fed from the blood
Left in your veins
So stay with me or I'll shrivel and dry out
Stay. Stay. Stay
