elida cody - blooming in reverse lyrics

[verse 1]
growin’ up i had a strange sort of faith that
i could be whoever i pleased
now that i’m older i’ve become accustomed
to disappointed dreams
we might be saints in the arms of our mothers
but this world will have its way
dragging you through all the chaos and mayhem
changing you in all but name

[chorus]
like blooming in reverse
an instant of color now cursed
beauty overturned
violated, d+mned, and plain hurt

[verse 2]
who is this woman that lives in the mirror
hiding behind my face?
she’s done some things that would dumbfound the devil
wicked and far from grace
how can i revive the girl that i once was
or is she too far gone?
that wildflower learned too much the hard way
that ain’t how things should be done
[chorus]
like blooming in reverse
an instant of color now cursed
beauty overturned
violated, d+mned, and plain hurt

[verse 3]
we’re all born into the sins of our fathers
who here is pure of heart?
foolish was i to believe that the light could
always outshine the dark
that if you are lost you will always be found
redemption is easy won
if only i’d simply made peace with the shadows
i’d have no more reasons to run

[bridge]
but visions of eden swim before my eyes
taunting me with all that would have been mine
they say the lord gives what he takes away
but all i can see is what i’ve had to pay

[chorus]
like blooming in reverse
an instant of color now cursed
beauty overturned
violated, d+mned, and plain hurt
