Petal 2: Crush




How long have I been chasing

How long have I been living
How long have I been dreaming
Like, really, why am I even trying?



The wilderness of the sea is in you
It’s the only thing I want, the only thing I find beautiful
I voyage the whole world to meet my doom
Unaware that my sails need your presence to move



I travel in circles with no direction
Hands rowing until they become frozen
I now doubt my belief in a perfect illusion
Of seeking the waters for a precious diamond



Stranded in the ocean, I notice the wind carrying leaves
“Leaves mean trees! Oh, your land is close by calling for me!”
I throw my food off board, ready to live my fantasy
With you, my beautiful, I can finally be happy



I follow the leaves, rowing in full speed
Days turn to nights, but I never go more than an inch
I stop, wondering is this your cruel trickery
No, instead of following the leaves, they’re the ones following me



My heart breaks , and the damage is done
I'm the only sunflower that does not obey the Sun
Shine brighter and I’ll break into a run
I surrender, but you’ll always be my number One
