Petrichor ft. Jeziah Lyrics

First time is surprising

Leave behind the physical

First they heard you coffin

Now they at your funeral

Don't mean to be ironic

To me you are an angel

Now you're home

And I'm alone wiping tears from my face off

But brave hearts don't cry

So I

Dry my eyes

They ask me what is wrong

And I, give 'em a smile

I fight the feelings

Fight the questions,fight the healing

Fight my parents

Why so much attention anytime that I am grieving

Get away from me, I mean it

Cos space is what I'm needing

They tell me it's ok but I know that's not how I'm feeling

But death is a necessary end

It happens to us all whether family or friend (Woah)

I like the smell of the rain

keeps me grounded despite the pain

I like the smell of the rain

Tears won't wash the hurt away

Second time more awful

Cos this time it's more thoughtful

Not that we forgot you but we don't say your name no more

Didn't ask to be a martyr

He was a son, she was a sister

He was a father, she was a mother

It doesn't matter- they were human

But death is a necessary end

Limited time inspires us to live

Be respectful of the family

You mean no harm but actually

Things you share so casually

Make personal matters publicly

Available for people-to say what they do

Your tweets, they aren't evil and neither are you

But reminders are painful so please be careful

Yes it is an honour but please be tactful

In fact, give them a second to breath

From a constant feed

Of hopes and prayers

Double tap the snare that they read

Trapped in the drum beat of a movement

that they sympathize with

Imagine your name becoming the hashtag in every comment (Damn)

I like the smell of the rain

keeps me grounded despite the pain

I like the smell of the rain

Tears won't wash the hurt away

Give me more, give gimme more

I want more, I want more

Getting high off the petrichor
