banksia

The soil has trapped my feet If I stay, I'll decay here and flowers will grow While I let time roll right over me There's nothing to undo it So I won't put you through it with me Buried in banksia, I can't let you go Bloom in another life Infinitely aligned Buried in banksia, rebirth and regrow You never listened at all And now we're taking the fall And the roof's coming down All our ships are aground You put the spike through my chest I swear I told you that We're bound to be unstable Our castles, unfolding Cards all on the table I loved you, I showed it You told me to do better I took it, and owned it In making you the warmest I think that I got colder And now everything is burning The fire to my fever keeps on growing My temperature's rising There's no slowing and I know it I'm missing your touch And I'm off-kilter Down in the abyss Is where I'm sentenced to live The soil has trapped my feet If I stay, I'll decay here and flowers will grow While I let time roll right over me There's nothing to undo it So I won't put you through it with me I watch the petals fall Down from my pedestal Buried in banksia, I can't let you go Bloom in another life Infinitely aligned Buried in banksia, rebirth and regrow Let live, let die But don't say that I never tried You taught me to look back again It's a habit to rewind, but I'll never comprehend, so I Move forward but my legs shake Twenty-one years young I don't recognize my face Dying to sleep but my feet melt Right into my resting place We pick the petals up Brush away all the dust Blooming in banksia, I come back for more Step on another sword You're who I'm walking towards Blooming in banksia, so thank you
