Groundup from Shades EP by Earthbender

Pulling out these lifeless flowers
Holding on 'cuz I can't let go
Thorns in the stem are thorns in my side
Push them farther in to be closer again
Thorns in the stem are thorns in my side
In places where they pierce will make us feel so alive
Bury that flower back inside the dirt
Cover it back up so we don't care that it hurts

Pulling, pushing, digging, deeper!

Cover, conceal push it deeper
This is how it feels to bury you
Let it decay if it's going to
Let it decay, let it bury me
Pressure compounds, builds and sunders us

Thorns in the stem are thorns in my side
In places where they pierce will make us feel so alive
Bury that flower back inside the dirt
Cover it back up so we don't care that it hurts

Pushing up from the bottom
Discovering how it feels to live
Giving rise to a new beginning
Placing our bones back above the stone
Grasping for familiar roots
Blood feels heavy, invasion of earth
Clogged pores and impacted airways
Weight in pockets, weight on my thoughts

Pulling, pushing, digging, deeper!

Cover, conceal push it deeper
This is how it feels to bury you
Let it decay if it's going to
Let it decay, let it bury me
Pressure compounds, builds and sunders us
I can feel myself descending

Let the worms inside deface
Hold the roots there right above
Make it stone inside these organs and behind
These eyes, they don't want to watch us die
They don't want to watch us die

Make it stone inside these organs
This is how it feels to die again
Bring me back from under your feet
Take these flowers, I will make it
Stone inside these organs and eyes
They don't want to watch us die

They don't want to watch us die
