lyrics

The firelight. You turned away.
I looked for you, but got tired of mistaking you.
Who we are in the sun and in the dark-
just the same, but but more accepting of our selfishness.
I hold you up like you should have no flaws.
Love me like a man. Love me, love me like a god...
I ask so little... Give me the bare bones...
Love without exception, fear, or unknown.

A crown of flowers, my love.
These things for to devour:
happiness and weakness,
the sadness that teaches,
“Grow tough grow hard grow cold”.
A crown of flowers, my love,
To stop from growing old.

I pick them in the early morning.
You are sleeping. I give no warning.
I would cover the bed, petals turning sheets to red.
Tell me, were we always better in your head?
I hold you up. I see so many flaws.
You love me like a man. Terrible.
I ask so little...
But it’s bare bones.
Love given in silence, and often not home.

A crown of flowers, my love.
These things for to devour:
happiness and weakness,
the sadness that teaches,
“Grow tough grow hard grow cold”.
A crown of flowers, my love,
To stop from growing old.

It was not enough.
I pinched my cheeks.
I made a joke,
and I cried myself to sleep.

A crown of flowers, my love.
These things for to devour:
happiness and weakness,
the sadness that teaches,
“Grow tough grow hard grow cold”.
A crown of flowers, my love,
To stop from growing old.
