Bloom - Ivy Sole

The sun was on the way to you next

It must’ve known you needed light for your steps

Dark path, dark past, it enlightened us

But it’s heavy sometimes it dims the bright in us

I got the call post-show in the Bay

A chill descended that I still can’t shake

In the Uber found a place for the blame

Emptied out my eyes when I got on the plane

My team of angels got one too soon

I’m feeling selfish

Just for wanting heaven to see you again

‘Cause I’m jealous of the hands that got to hold you last

Are we relics that you left so we could see the end?

Losing you was like a kick to the ribs

Every night we danced the most precious of gifts

Chris, wish I could’ve given you these flowers

Every bloom, just for you

Rest in peace, rest in power

Every bloom, just for you

Rest in peace, rest in power

Calla lilies on my conscious

Orchids on my bedside

Regrets washing over when the clock strikes bedtime

Mind pulling all the weeds into clear view

Puts my dreams and my goals in the rearview

Like damn you ain’t recycle that

Damn, where’s your cycle at

Damn you looking Job as hell

But haven’t brought your Bible back

Damn you gotta title that

You ain’t even writing good

Everything to spite the growth I’m making on the inside

Seeds only know darkness til they break ground

So I’m working til my spirit finds a breakthrough

The moon told me everybody breaks down

But your soul and your body need a break too

Every doubt that my fears compose

Breed a fire and it’s burning my soul

So Imma set the beats aflame

Til they only talking embers when they’re speaking my name
