Strophe 1 Petals fall like silent screams Beauty dies between my dreams Soft as breath — sharp as glass Every spring was built to pass They taught me love, they taught me light Said you'd be here — but not tonight (Erhu kurzer Fall) Every smile was paper thin Every “always” met its end Pre All these words that used to shine Fade like flowers left to die Every promise that you swore Broke the moment it was born Chorus (geöffnet) DYING BLOSSOMS — in my hands You were my home — now broken plans Petals falling through my veins Soft decay… hidden pain… (Erhu Echo) DYING BLOSSOMS — bleed and fall I gave you everything — you took it all Every dream you dressed in gold Was already growing cold Strophe 2 You said forever like a spell Built a heaven — sold a hell Every kiss felt warm and real Still it taught me how to kneel I don’t pray — I still bleed I don’t beg — but I still need Then I learned the hardest truth Nothing stays that once was new Pre All these lights that used to guide Burn out on the other side Every garden, every flame Feeds the ground it cannot save Chorus 2 (leicht variiert) DYING BLOSSOMS — in my hands You were my world — now broken plans Petals falling through my veins Soft decay… hidden pain… Bridge (halfoffen, erhugetragen) You said “stay” — I said “forever” Now I walk through dead December You grew wings — I grew scars That’s how dying blossoms are (Erhu Full Cry – 8–12 Takte) Final Chorus DYING BLOSSOMS — let them fall I won’t kneel to fragile gods I won’t beg for borrowed light I will burn my own tonight DYING BLOSSOMS — tear and bloom Beauty born inside the gloom Even rotting, even scarred I will grow — and I’ll grow hard Outro Petals fall… But roots remain.
