Where The Flowers Don't Grow

Leaves don't see the sunshine But the roots are drowning in the middle of a drought The water's full of poison Death seeps in the soil every time it hits the ground But you won't know the devil in the valley Til' you reap the rotten fruit that you've sown I watched you live then I watched you die Where the flowers don't grow Where the flowers don't grow Seen it over over A thousand times Acquainted death Estranging life The strangest sight to sing the song in solo When the people that you knew are now the ghosts inside your photos Hope you're doing well I hope your kids are good Hope you prove every doubter wrong that never thought you would You should know I think of love Every time I think of you But there's a lot of hurt inside That I don't see us working through And as for my name Know that didn't change I still try to be the medicine to everyone's pain And it comes with a cost that I've been learning to pay But I don't want to give my all if it'll all go away So I been embracing all of the time I ain't wasting No longer stuck in complacence Man I got nothing to prove If my life is creation Then it makes sense to create it And I'll be proud that I made it That's if I win or I lose Leaves don't see the sunshine But the roots are drowning in the middle of a drought The water's full of poison Death seeps in the soil every time it hits the ground But you won't know the devil in the valley Til' you reap the rotten fruit that you've sown I watched you live then I watched you die Where the flowers don't grow Where the flowers don't grow Seen the forest for the trees Wilted petals whisper how they love me not Should probably go and nip it in the bud But the words are clear as mud each time we talk And I lost track of benefits of doubt You lie to me the way I'm lying to myself Feel like I know the syllables too well But I'd need hell to help convey the way it felt Well Well Well If I'm to blame it's all for the better I changed I won't apologize and neither will you No matter who's wrong or right Taught one hard lesson of life Watching somebody die while I grew Leaves don't see the sunshine But the roots are drowning in the middle of a drought The water's full of poison Death seeps in the soil every time it hits the ground But you won't know the devil in the valley Til' you reap the rotten fruit that you've sown I watched you live then I watched you die Where the flowers don't grow Where the flowers don't grow Where the flowers don't grow Where the flowers don't grow
