Guess I've been uprooted by the stem
Loving is contagious, nothing's ever sacred
Colors pushing through the winter death
Secrets never wasted, why'd you complicate this?
I'm picking off my soft thorns
In the sickening sweet, let the death mourn
I'm spitting at the dead's scorn
Let the innocent bleat in the hawthorn
I pick a petal of distraction
From the burn of a frost-locked passion
Yeah, now the blossom is blackened
Sharp, white teeth of a dogwood gnashing
Blackthorn catching on my white lace
But I keep ripping it, ripping it, ripping it, ripping it
I'm shoveling my own grave
But I keep digging it, digging it, digging it, digging it
After frost, before the rot
The fleece is soft
Pierce through trodden sod
'Cause I've been uprooted by the stem
Loving is contagious, nothing's ever sacred
Colors pushing through the winter death
Secrets never wasted
Why would you put your faith in a
Bleeding heart?
Darling, you're testing my patience
Your winter grip can't seem to stick (starving)
You could've just waited
It's delicate, the blossom picked
I'll wade through the lake to escape
It's cardinal
You'll make your own mistakes
Adah can't hold us both
'Cause I've been uprooted by the stem
Loving is contagious, nothing's ever sacred
Colors pushing through the winter death
Secrets never wasted, why'd you complicate this?
Hysteria, I fear that you're familiar
Now you've become a symptom of my
Bleeding heart
Was it love? Wasn't love
Was it love? Wasn't love (it's so pathetic)
Saw your rain turn to flood
Turn my soil to mud
And I let it
Go
What a waste
What a fucking waste
Guess I've been uprooted by the stem
Loving is contagious, nothing's ever sacred
Colors pushing through the winter death
Secrets never wasted, why'd you complicate this?
Hysteria, I fear that you're familiar (familiar)
Now you've become a symptom of my
Bleeding heart
