about

The life span of a berry, the life span of a crush. A heavy crush.

lyrics

I was like a berry in the sun wanting you to notice I was ripe
Unfurling petals like flags in an effort to attract
but they dried, and they died and they just peeled back
into that decoration, a collar to frame my sour anticipation
Waiting, warming, ripening, the constant drone of the others swarming
Were you that hesitant crow? Were you that callow child?
Unwilling to risk the pain of the thorns for the sustenance just growing wild
When you finally reached I just fell apart completely rotten throughout
