botanophobia - carbon monoxide lyrics

[verse 1]
lonely boy, reaching for the stars
craving the moon
he got too close to the sun
woke up in the afternoon
little boy, hibernating ‘til the start of june
if the world was perfect pitch
then he was grossly out of tune
careful what you say
remember who you were that day

[verse 2]
wonder if the man who shares your face
had also used your name
past what you condemn
pretend, you know how to repent
remember why you were
thеn forget it all over again
haunted by what has rеmained
scared of the unexplained
how can you let go of all
that you cannot recall?

[pre*chorus]
stubborn barriers contain
flora, deeply ingrained
daffodils inside my head
they say they want us dead
[chorus]
whispers through the grape vine
my life is not mine
pass it through the grape vine
my life is benign
blink and you’re no longer here
picking stems inside your ears
seems my body’s smarter than
what holds back a tired pen
blink and at once, you’re awake
lay back down, slam on the breaks
it seems i’m no smarter then
what holds back a flooding dam

[post*chorus]
what i mean lost meaning
grieve for the living
set it back to square zero
settling roots grow

[verse 3]
tired boy, existing only inside his head
alive, but already dead
throw up spores over my bed
little boy, too young, too old
he says to me
paradoxical designs
let him color outside the lines
don’t know what to do
forget why you’re feeling so blue
do the flowers behind your eyes
know how much they mean to you?
[verse 4]
thinking through the pain
regain, live through all this again
shed all you can’t erase
you’ll regret it in the first place
trace your sins around your palms
hiding from weeping psalms
padlocked by a broken wall
and you’re feeling so small

[pre*chorus]
memories he undertook
flora, an open book
i hear tulips, and they say
they tried to keep me safe

[chorus]
whispers through the grape vine
everything is fine
sing it through the grape vine
my life’s the punch line
blink and you’re no longer here
picking stems inside your ears
seems my body’s smarter then
what holds back a tired pen
blink and at once, you’re awake
lay back down, slam on the breaks
it seems i’m no smarter then
what holds back a flooding dam
[post*chorus]
what i mean lost meaning
grieve for the living
set it back to square zero
settling roots grow

[instrumental]

[chorus]
shouting through the grape vine
your hand lays in mine
blink and everything’s so clear
k!lling what i thought was real
seem’s my body’s smarter then
what holds back a bleeding pen
close your eyes, cover your etas
will yourself to disappear
it seems i’m no smarter then
what holds back a flooding dam

[outro]
what i mean lost meaning
live for the grieving
reaching out towards the moon
settling roots bloom
