Pushing Up Daisies Lyrics

Shaking off the roots and dust

Trading chains for velvet gloves

I was tied, confined to us

Now I'm out and perilous

Free to leave the battlefield

Where I fought for something real

Free to care about how I feel

Forced to turn my bones to steel

I can leave the cemetery

Of destroyed dreams and rusted rings

All the possibilities

Are waiting there for me

Cause I pulled myself out

Did you think you could contain me?

I broke the wooden cell

Became the names you used to call me

I'll admit I'm proud

Of how I've lived since you killed me

I'll scream and shout it out

I'm more alive now that I'm pushing

Up

Daisies

Pushing Up

Daisies

Mourned the loss, paid the cost

Found the key, unlocked the cuffs

So darling if you hear my name

Know that I'm back from the grave

I'm the whisper in the rain

The reflection in the frame

Seen in every window pane

My happiness drives you insane

Cause I have left the cemetery

Of destroyed dreams and rusted rings

All the possibilities

Are waiting there for me

Cause I pulled myself out

Did you think you could contain me?

I broke the wooden cell

Became the names you used to call me

I'll admit I'm proud

Of how I've lived since you killed me

I'll scream and shout it out

I'm more alive now that I'm pushing

Up

Daisies

Pushing Up

Daisies

And baby I'm so thankful that you left me in the dirt

Now I've grown my petals, now I've settled on my worth

If I put it bluntly I'm so happy now I've learnt

That when they say they love you just to have you

You'll get hurt

But I pulled myself out

Did you think you could contain me?

I broke the wooden cell

Became the names you used to call me

I'll admit I'm proud

Of how I've lived since you killed me

I'll scream and shout it out

I'm more alive now that I'm pushing

Up

Daisies

Pushing Up

Daisies

Pushing up, pushing up

Pushing up, pushing up

Pushing up, pushing up

Daisies
