See me in a mountain of petals That I push under the rug Just like the feelings I hide To save me from falling further I'm muffled coughs and aching chests A personification of the spring Heart blinded and suffocated By the beauty that is you Dawns are spent in bathroom stalls My heart worn on the soles of my feet Cursing the ache of what cannot be For loss and longing, entirely He loves me not, the law repeats For what it's worth, Don't spare me the humanity Only in death shall I forfeit Forever my heart in camellia sheets, Forever for you it tries to beat.

See me in a mountain of petals That I push under the rug Just like the feelings I hide To save me from falling further I'm muffled coughs and aching chests A personification of the spring Heart blinded and suffocated By the beauty that is you Dawns are spent in bathroom stalls My heart worn on the soles of my feet Cursing the ache of what cannot be For loss and longing, entirely He loves me not, the law repeats For what it's worth, Don't spare me the humanity Only in death shall I forfeit Forever my heart in camellia sheets, Forever for you it tries to beat.
