Ashes Of Empedocles Lyrics

These flowers on my grave

They twist and wilt away

Soaked up in the grey rain

This isn't what I want

But this is what I'll do

Feel it in my palms

See it with my eyes closed

Like my life is slipping

Away from me today

These petals on my tomb

Remind me of the gloom

I love all these colours

But I make ashes bloom

With anything I do

When that sadness kicks in

And you're lying on your side

And you can't stop sobbing

Spiralling down again

Into the abyss I go

This world has failed me

Like how I fail you

Shattered fragments of my mind

Sparkle on the inside

The floor of my skull

Left there for time

Pick up the pieces

And stare into my face

I'm so sorry

It felt like all the blood in my body

Was flowing in the wrong direction
