Asteraceae

**[Intro] Echoes of sorrow, the weight of silence...** **[Verse 1] I thought we’d built something eternal, In the void, where whispers burn, But the cold crept in without warning, A stillness that twisted and turned. Your absence was a shadow, Stretching long, swallowing the flame, I reached for you, but nothing answered, Left to rot in this hollowed name.** **[Pre-Chorus] Five minutes... felt like a lifetime, A wound deeper than time... We had something, or so I thought, But now I’m bound by the silence you brought.** **[Chorus] Asteraceae, petals blackened by decay, In the soil of despair, we lay... You shut me out, your hand turned cold, A bond undone, a story untold. The light fades from the flower’s breath, Crushed beneath the weight of death. Asteraceae, in this grave we fall, Was there ever anything real at all?** **[Verse 2] Your silence rings like funeral bells, Dragging me through these empty hells, What did I say, where did I stray? To deserve the void that took you away. Like frost upon a dying bloom, You froze me out, consumed the room, All I have now is the weight of regret, A withering flower, a fate we met** **[Pre-Chorus] Five minutes... stretched into years, Drowned in doubt, choked on fears. You left me stranded, lost and broken, In the cold void of words unspoken** **[Chorus] Asteraceae, petals blackened by decay, In the soil of despair, we lay... You shut me out, your hand turned cold, A bond undone, a story untold. The light fades from the flower’s breath, Crushed beneath the weight of death. Asteraceae, in this grave we fall, Was there ever anything real at all?** **[Bridge] In the ash of what we once were... I’m left to rot... In the silence of broken trust... the petals fall... One by one... one by one... into the dirt...** **[Final Chorus] Asteraceae, wilt in the night, Choked by shadows, stripped of light. You closed the door, you turned away, Left me to rot, with nothing to say. A bond undone, a hollow cry, A fading bloom left here to die. Asteraceae, we fall to the ground, In silence, forever, no hope to be found** **[Outro] No hope... no light... just endless night...**
