Botanical Alchemy
Verse 1 I tried to swallow sunshine, but it turned inside my chest, little golden promises that never let me rest. My stomach starts a war drum, my body says, âNot this way,â so donât hand me the garden if itâs gonna make me pay. Pre-Chorus I need the green in my bloodstream, the roots beneath my skin, not another bitter pill Iâm fighting to keep in. Verse 2 Give me chlorophyll and stardust, violets in the rain, something ancient, something holy moving softly through my veins. I donât want a plastic promise, I donât want the nausea fight, I want roses in my bloodstream turning weakness into light. Pre-Chorus I need the medicine of petals, the miracle beneath, a garden through the needle, a forest when I breathe. Chorus Inject me with botanical alchemy, let it run where the rivers go. Pour the herbs into my heartbeat, wake the flowers in my bones. I canât take it on my tongue, but my veins know what to do â inject me with the living light, let me bloom, let me bloom. Bridge Marigold mercy, lavender flame, call every wilted part of me by name. Mint for my spirit, rose for my scars, turn my blood into gardens, turn my pain into stars. Final Chorus Inject me with botanical alchemy, let the wild inside me rise. Let my body find the language that my stomach keeps denied. I canât take it like they tell me, but I know what pulls me through â send the garden to my bloodstream, let me bloom, let me bloom. Outro Let me bloom⊠from the vein to the vine, from the root to the moon, inject me with life â let me bloom.
