Lake Avernus - Malignant Fate Sat by and Smiled Lyrics

Today I learned
Flowers cannot be kept alive
Once you pick them from the ground
They're only meant to die
Found God was never real
And built myself a wall
To keep out all I feel
When the cancer came and leapt into your skull
And dad walked in to hold me
His tears far from consoling
He said things get better still
But dying's part of living
And living's not something that we all do
Today I learned
Flowers cannot be kept alive
Once you pick them from the ground
They're only meant to die
I can try to keep it in
Fall through the holes in my mattress
Until I fit
Into my shrinking soul
I can be thankful
Bow my head when I'm asked
But I scraped my palms on the concrete
And I'm falling on my ass
Today I learned
Flowers cannot be kept alive
Once you pick them from the ground
They're only meant to die
Today I learned
Flowers cannot be kept alive
Once you pick them from the ground
They're only meant to die
