Lyrics to "The Flowers," by Elephant Funeral
Chorus
Maybe the sky only cries sometimes
Cause it’s scared that the flowers might die
Maybe the sun and the moon sacrificed
Their own love so that we could have life
Verse 1
There is too much to create and too much love to make
For me to spend even a moment with hate
Instead let’s give freely to all who might be
Less fortunate than ourselves so together we are free
Them from the wicked wind and starvation
And us from the sickness of this self preservation
Like why is everyone so scared to die
It’s no less natural than birth so I’m forced to ask why
Do we do everything in our power to try
And prolong this existence that we’ve grown to despise
Cause there is no soul to it it’s mundane
Day in and day out unfeeling and unchanged
Don’t let the compassion and empathy perish
These are the good gifts we were set to inherit
We are on people in need of grace and we can share it
Bringing beauty and life to a land that was barren
Chorus (x2)
Verse 2
There’s beauty in all of us but the fear hides it
But I’ve seen that with patience we can find it
And you might not always have someone there to remind you
That you’ve been strengthened not destroyed by all that lays behind you
But it’s true and if you could see yourself from my view
You’d know that the universe took its time on you
Drawing line after line of divine inspiration
Finely designed with great care you were shaped and
Please be aware that there are no mistakes here
Every breath in your lungs it is sacred
Making you a vessel that actually carries life
Bestowed with a light that can brighten the darkest night
And meet the morning sun as a friend and companion
And the moon as the same the shapeless void has been banished
And you are no longer stranded you are free
To become who it was that you were always meant to be
Chorus (x2)
