Lyrics

Death Blossoms

[Verse 1]

On dirt like stone, the life paste

The bones of men that sought to overthrow

Or all that remains

Oh, what they stole was innocence

The slate once clean has gone as black as coal

Time and time again

[Chorus 1]

Take a look around

The tide is turning upside down

The image of the world

Reflects inside a child's eye

This world

[Verse 2]

No self-control

No sense of time

No bleeding hearts, no long goodbyes

We grow colder every day

But is it all a show? A game we play

Society vice-squeezed so fucking bored

And so cliché

[Chorus 2]

Take a look around

The tide is turning upside down

The image of the world

Reflects inside a child's eye

We eat our own to stay alive

[Bridge]

Slow and steady now

Slow and steady now

Slow and steady now

Slow and steady now

Slow and steady now

It's time

[Chorus 2]

Around

Take a look around

The tide is turning upside down

The image of a world

Reflects inside a child's eye

We eat our own to stay alive

Around

Take a look around

Watch this world

Reflect inside a child's eye

We eat our own to stay alive
