Malignant Fate Sat by and Smiled Lyrics

Today I learned

Flowers cannot be kept alive

Once you pick them from the ground

They’re only meant to die

Found God was never real

And built myself a wall

To keep out all I feel

When the cancer came and leapt into your skull

And dad walked in to hold me

His tears far from consoling

He said things get better still

But dying’s part of living

And living’s not something that we all do

Today I learned

Flowers cannot be kept alive

Once you pick them from the ground

They’re only meant to die

I can try to keep it in

Fall through the holes in my mattress

Until I fit

Into my shrinking soul

I can be thankful

Bow my head when I’m asked

But I scraped my palms on the concrete

And I’m falling on my ass

Today I learned

Flowers cannot be kept alive

Once you pick them from the ground

They’re only meant to die

Today I learned

Flowers cannot be kept alive

Once you pick them from the ground

They’re only meant to die
