Fall Apart, Return

[Verse 1] The seed forgets it ever was a flower before

Cracks the dark and reaches up, not knowing what for

Every root that digs down deep has done this dance before

The ground remembers what the seed cannot ignore

[Pre-Chorus]

What falls away comes back around

(comes back around)

What breaks the surface breaks no new ground

(no new ground)

[Chorus]

Nothing ends, it turns

Nothing ends, it turns

What falls apart returns as root and stem

Nothing ends, it turns

[Verse 2]

The flower doesn't ask if this is worth the climb

It opens like it's done a thousand thousand times

The fruit that ripens knows the falling is the point

The hunger and the harvest share a common joint

[Pre-Bridge]

The leaf lets go before it's told

It doesn't fight the turning cold

The petals scatter, no goodbye

The falling is enough reply

[Bridge]

[Spoken] "Nothing is lost. It only sleeps until it's called."

[Spoken] "The dark isn't empty — it's simply stalled."

[Solo]

[Final Chorus]

Nothing ends, it turns

Nothing ends, it turns

What falls apart returns as root and stem

Nothing ends, it turns

[Outro]

Nothing ends, it turns

The seed forgets, then remembers again
