[Verse 1]
She dreams of the country
Her eyes go far away
She wishes for flowers
He says, "Perhaps in May"
City always was grey
Reflections of his eyes
She knows he liked it that way
And that way he shall die, but
[Chorus]
She's always known
There was something more
There's this hunger in her belly, like an instinct
That tells her that there's something more
This living shouldn't be called living
'Cause it's really only half a lifе
She's a flower that grows despitе cement walls
And she will survive
She will survive
[Verse 2]
She's a rare breed with violet eyes
And leafy limbs
In conversations, she looks for cracks
To dig her roots deep in
And her waves comes up like daisies
She pushes her head to the sun
She says, "I have continued to grow
Despite the steel frost that consumes every wonder"
[Chorus]
She's always known
There was something more
There's this hunger in her belly, like an instinct
That tells her that there's something more
This living shouldn't be called living
'Cause it's really only half a life
She's a flower that grows despite cement walls
And she will survive
And she will survive
[Bridge]
In the end, these steel cages will consume us
And like coffins, ignorance will take us in and
Fashion don't mean anything 'cause
Fashion cannot be our friends and
When all else fades away
And the city falls into its sleep
We'll still have flesh, blood, bones, and a soul to deal with
So we should dig our roots deep there and
[Chorus 2]
Always know that there's something more
There's this hunger in our bellies, like an instinct
That tells us that there's something more
This living shouldn't be called living
'Cause it's really only half a life
We are flowers that grow despite cement walls
And we will survive
We will survive
We will survive
And we'll survive
We will survive
She dreams of the country
Her eyes go far away
She wishes for flowers
He says, "Perhaps in May"
City always was grey
Reflections of his eyes
She knows he liked it that way
And that way he shall die, but
[Chorus]
She's always known
There was something more
There's this hunger in her belly, like an instinct
That tells her that there's something more
This living shouldn't be called living
'Cause it's really only half a lifе
She's a flower that grows despitе cement walls
And she will survive
She will survive
[Verse 2]
She's a rare breed with violet eyes
And leafy limbs

To dig her roots deep in

There's this hunger in her belly, like an instinct
That tells her that there's something more

We are flowers that grow despite cement walls
And we will survive
We will survive
We will survive
And we'll survive
We will survive
