lyrics

COMING BACK TO BLOOM

Drifted from the city to escape the din
Drifted to the harbor where the eddies spin
Could no longer reach the water, now the shore’s hemmed in
Coming back to bloom just to wilt within
Coming back to bloom just to wilt again

Placing twenty dollars on an old coat pin
Wasting twenty dollars on a new Moleskine
Lord, I have the will but not the discipline
Coming back to bloom just to wilt within
Coming back to bloom just to wilt again

Ooh, lamp-lit roads won’t lead you home
Ooh, with no comb, the bees must roam
Coming back to blooms just to wilt again

Entered in the field to be a Jacobin’
Ended up another faded mandarin
Never be the hero or the heroin
Coming back to bloom just to wilt within
Coming back to bloom just to wilt again

Dreamed another crucifixion mannequin
Nailed me to the wall, a soldier slipped it in
Fear to feel at all, like it’s a mortal sin
Coming back to bloom just to wilt within
Coming back to bloom just to wilt again

Ooh, lamp-lit roads won’t lead you home
Ooh, with no comb, the bees must roam
Coming back to blooms just to wilt again
Coming back to bloom just to wilt within
Coming back to bloom just to wilt again
