Altar Flowers Lyrics

What day is it anyway

Did you have something to say

Is anybody listening

Is that just the price you pay

For the start of something beautiful

Or the ending of the rest

Number 13 Arcana

Always looks like something else

Flowers on the altar

That never had a chance to bloom

Are fallen petals underneath us now

Withered, washed away too soon

Not for lack of trying

Maybe for the best

Late blooms last the longest

And it's all starting to make sense

Cause jumping without knowing

Where you're going to land

Is finding comfort in the questions

You've always been afraid to ask

Flowers on the altar

That never had a chance to bloom

Are fallen petals underneath us now

Withered, washed away too soon

My mother sang in Sunday church

When I was a little girl

And sometimes I sing in a coffee shop

The only difference is the words

Flowers on the altar

That never had a chance to bloom

Are fallen petals underneath us now

Withered, washed away too soon

Everything I thought I'd do by now

And everything I haven't done

Is the grass underneath our feet

And the sky over all of us

And every new beginning

Soon will be replaced

It's just a little too sweet

Until you hit the aftertaste

Flowers on the altar

That never had a chance to bloom

Are fallen petals underneath us now

Withered, washed away too soon
