Blackbriar - A Thousand Anemones - (2026)

[Verse 1]
Can we make one last keepsake?
A post-mortem portrait of us to keep me sane?
I will arrange us upright
To make us more lifelike

[Refrain]
I'll paint our eyes on our eyelids
As if we weren't asleep
I'll fold the picture until it fits
Inside a locket 'cause I'm weak

[Verse 2]
I don't need something to remember you by
But I'm having trouble saying goodbye
It's quite insurmountable, honestly
So before you go
Can you promise me

[Pre-Chorus]
That I can paint eyes on our eyelids
As if we didn't die?
I'll fold the picture until it fits
Inside a locket, forever mine

[Chorus]
And I'll cry you a thousand anemones
Pluck a bouquet of my dreadful memories
For you to decorate your windowsill
To remember me by if you will

[Bridge]
Can we make one last memorial of us?
A post-mortem portrait of forsaken love
Secure the shadow ere the substance fades
To ease the tiniest bit of pain

[Chorus]
And I'll cry you a thousand anemones
Pluck a bouquet of my dreadful memories
For you to decorate your windowsill
To remember me by if you will
I'll cry you a thousand anemones
Pluck a bouquet of my dreadful memories
For you to decorate your windowsill
To remember me by, if you will

[Post-Chorus]
I'll cry you a thousand anemones
You will haunt all of my memories

[Outro]
Anemones, my memories
