Inherit the Flesh
Carlos V
Inherit the flesh
A rose marred by tainted soil
Roots swallowed and buried
Only worsened by decay
It's all we can feel
Abrasions suppressed sprout
Misery blooms within a tender embrace
Thorns cut so deep
Inside skin too broken to see
Fear of what's meant to be
A fury heavy enough that you can't let go
You won't let go
Too bitter to let it go
Can't ever shake the feeling
Hate always begins at home
Where dead flowers keep appearing
(Waiting for the worst)
To be their end
A vile seed brought to being
(Waiting for the worst)
The past never dies
It stays inside
Where petals lie
