Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Under the ashes of disaster
We're nothing more than living matter
We're all the same cut at the center
Uncertainty I cannot even measure
Can't measure at all
[Verse 2]
Why did I try to grow up faster?
'Cause now I feel untimely pressure
Still every day trying to be better
Uncertainty I cannot even measure
Can't even measure
Can't measure at all
[Chorus]
Bloom like a flower
I bloom like a flower
And you took what I gave to you
I took it back from you
Now like a flower, I'll bloom
[Verse 3]
What will I turn into after? (Who will I be?)
When dark comes to take me under (Go, go, go)
Could I be great or be remembered? (Can't measure me)
Uncertainty I cannot even measure
Can't even measure
Can't measure at all
[Chorus]
Bloom like a flower, I
Bloom like a flower
And you took what I gave to you
I took it back from you
Now like a flower, I
Bloom like a flower, I
Bloom like a flower
And you took what I gave to you
I took it back from you
Now like a flower, I
Bloom like a flower, I (We all go out the way we came)
Bloom like a flower (We're nothing, then we're claimed)
And you took what I gave to you (Take the chance to start again)
I took it back from you (And bloom like new)
Now like a flower, I
Bloom like a flower, I (We all go out the way we came)
Bloom like a flower (We're nothing, then we're claimed)
And you took what I gave to you (Take the chance to start again)
I took it back from you (And bloom like new)
Now like a flower, I'll bloom
