[Style: 1990s post-punk indie, deadpan female vocals, dry drums, steady sparse tempo, clean echoing guitar chimes] [Verse 1] (Chords: Fmaj7 - Gmaj7) The frost took the room at every single night [reverb guitar chime] A winter in the mind without warning, without fight [clean chorus guitar pluck] Masking the fractures of a tragic sin But the heaviest damage is the war we hold within When the sun rises that fends off the cold [stark guitar chime] The ice starts to crack where the stories weren’t told [Verse 2] (Chords: Fmaj7 - Gmaj7 - Dsus2) Now the sun has cleared the white away The winter lost its fight to stay [melodic chime riff] A devastating picture of a long lost view But ooh-oh, look at the beauty when the red poppies grew Yeah, look at the beauty when the red poppies grew [clean chorus guitar pluck] [Verse 3] (Chords: Fmaj7 - Gmaj7 - Dsus2) It’s a fragile strength, a stubborn seed Buried within a heart that can't bleed [reverb guitar chime] And a stubborn seed would not falter or fade The soil was broken, but look what it made [Verse 4] (Chords: Dsus2 - Fmaj7 - Gmaj7) Now the white has gone [stark guitar chime] The grass turned to dirt The ground has opened But it still fucking hurts [ringing chime progression] [Verse 5] (Chords: Fmaj7 - Gmaj7 - Dsus2) A devastating picture of a long lost view But ooh-oh, look at the beauty when the red poppies grew [melodic chime riff] It ain’t bout the storm that won’t pass or break It’s all in remembrance of one grave mistake Out of the ruins, out of the grey [clean chorus guitar pluck] We all have to find our own different way [Verse 6] (Chords: Dsus2 - Dsus2) The shadows have shifted, the air is clear [stark guitar chime] We are still standing, we are still here The soul remembers what we went through... But look at beauty where the red poppies grew. [Deadpan spoken outro] [Clean echoing guitar chimes fade out] [End]
