rot Lyrics

In the shadows of the old oak tree

Where the sunlight splinters through the leaves

You said, there's beauty in decay

But I can't see it in these roots that fray

Watch it rot, watch it bleed

All the things we hold and need

Like the silence on the line where we used to call

I'm learning how to grow, but I can't recall

The whispers rise with the evening breeze

Old stories hang in the bark of trees

I hear the echoes of your sweet voice

But each rustling leaf is a different choice

I try to gather what's left unsaid

From a flower bed

Watch it rot, watch it bleed

All the things we hold and need

Like the silence on the line where you used to call

I'm learning how to grow, but I can't recall

We're just faces fading in the light

Old photographs in black and white

Finding comfort in the cracks and seams

Building our futures on withered dreams

Watch it rot, watch it bleed

All the things we hold and need

Like the silence on the line where we used to call

I'm learning how to grow, but I can't recall

So I carry the weight of what's come undone

In the garden of ghosts, I try to run

With every heartbeat, I'll learn to embrace

The beauty in the rot, time and space
