In Lieu of Flowers

In lieu of flowers, we grow death as a peace of mind
 I hold these dreams on my own
 Let it run away, the serpent's on my fucking back
 Spit the venom into my heart to bring the doom back
 At curtain call tonight, I search for the exit light
 Like night after night, oh, will we ever survive?
 The fucked up fire in me, needs you, the light in me
 The valentine in me, wants you to reign with me
 That little bite on me, wants you so dire with
 In lieu of flowers, I can send myself
 With the bloom of the flowers, you can send me away
 As above, so below
 Devotion and hope keep me crawling back to you
 Was it triggered right along when we were young?
 I refused to see, but the light of the sun
 Might've pulled a card from a pack that's full of broken hearts
 Might've tried too hard, no
 Did I ever let you know?
 This fucked up mind in me, needs your sunlight within
 In lieu of flowers, I can send myself
 With the bloom of the flowers, you can send me away
 As above, so below
 Devotion and hope keep me crawling back to you
 In lieu of flowers, I can send myself
 With the bloom of the flowers, you can send me away
 As above, so below
 Never let go 'cause your world holds the bloom of me
 Love as the death of me
 Love has the death of me on hold
 And in lieu of these flowers
 If I, if I just let you go
 I can send myself
 With the bloom of the flowers, you can send me away
 As above, so below, devotion and hope
 Keep me crawling back to you
 In lieu of flowers, I can send myself
 With the bloom of the flowers, you can send me away
 As above, so below, never let go
 'Cause your world holds the bloom of me
