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
