BloodFlowers by

About the helplessness of believing in something that doesn’t turn out to be what you expected it to be …… frustration and love
.
Watch an AMV to this song here

*"this dream never ends" you said
"this feeling never goes
the time will never come to slip away"
"this wave never breaks" you said
"this sun never sets again
these flowers will never fade"
"this world never stops" you said
"this wonder never leaves
the time will never come to say goodbye"
"this tide never turns" you said
"this night never falls again
these flowers will never die"

never die
never die
these flowers will never die

"this dream always ends" i said
"this feeling always goes
the time always comes to slip away"
"this wave always breaks" i said
"this sun always sets again
and these flowers will always fade"
"this world always stops" i said
"this wonder always leaves
the time always comes to say goodbye"
"this tide always turns" i said
"this night always falls again
and these flowers will always die"

always die
always die
these flowers will always die

between you and me
it’s hard to ever really know
who to trust
how to think
what to believe
between me and you
it’s hard to ever really know
who to choose
how to feel
what to do

never fade
never die
you give me flowers of love

always fade
always die
i let fall flowers of blood*
.
The Cure

    Ohhhh I love this negative look with a crimson twist. The black background adds depth and intrigue. Great image.

    Thanks Taniuska :) I really wanted to make this one as dark (emotionally) as possible. There is a lot of emotion behind this one for me … anguish, anger and regret. Oh, better throw in a bit of confusion there too ;)

    I think you captured what you set out to do it’s dark and very beautiful…

    Thanks Shinina …. I moved over here to WA to be with someone I thought was the biggest Love of my life. I have never loved like I loved her. She didn’t turn out to be the person I thought she was. These roses were taken in her front garden, they are her BloodFlowers. :( So the photo is very emotional for me. I think the title and lyrics probably say exactly how I feel.

    Very Cure like. Can see it on one of their albums. Powerful, strong and cutting.
