i built a house on flower petals
the voices grew high around me
winter, spring, fire, fall,
the plants withered in the summer heat
the vines grew high around me
i tried to find a pattern but
the plants withered in the summer heat
my home was just funeral pie and soot
i tried to find a pattern but
there was too much to see
my home was just funeral pie and soot
my vision burned all i could be
there was too much to see
but my tears can feed my daughter's field
my vision burned down all i could be
but the future will not be forsaken
the voices grew high around me
winter, spring, fire, fall,
the plants withered in the summer heat
the vines grew high around me
i tried to find a pattern but
the plants withered in the summer heat
my home was just funeral pie and soot
i tried to find a pattern but
there was too much to see
my home was just funeral pie and soot
my vision burned all i could be
there was too much to see
but my tears can feed my daughter's field
my vision burned down all i could be
but the future will not be forsaken
wrote this about my **** and all of the ensuing abuse. while in a lot of ways i gave up on ever being okay again, i refuse to believe that the future will stay so rocky, and i will continue to speak out against violence
