lyrics

Decay (What’s Left?)

What will grow from my decay?
A field of wildflowers, or a desolated plain?
What will haunt my remains?
An echo of compassion, or a shadow of disdain?

Had I known then, what I know now I would have made the same mistakes
I’ll learn each lesson till I bleed- nothing stays the same.
Had I known then, what I know now I would have made the same mistakes
What can I do with what’s left?

Falling from a crooked family tree
Overripe and bruised, terrified of love
In a generation, we’ll all be forgotten,
In a whisper or a glance, the memory is felt.

Had I known then, what I know now I would have made the same mistakes
I’ll learn each lesson till I bleed- nothing stays the same.
Had I known then, what I know now I would have made the same mistakes
What can I do?

I’m not small I’m growing
Not lost, exploring
I’m not weak, just putting down the things that I don’t need
I’m not broke, I’m just healing
I’m not dumb, I’m learning
And I’m not dead, I’m still yearning to make something with what’s left
