• Cold seems crippling lame meander through corridors aroma's thick
  With age mark off the day reflections of my life are fading
  
  Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in
  Feeble frail and rotting descending I'm lost in
  A structure that's collapsing don't want it cast into
  Maker take the body don't want it wants me
  
  Past has found its place salvation is no more will god accept my
  Peace bleached will pardon me reflections of my life are fading
  Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in,
  Feeble frail and rotting descending I'm lost in,
  A structure that's collapsing don't want it cast into,
  Maker take the body don't want it wants me
  
  I just want to run fly kites wrestle jump and play
  Swim through waves that crash to shore memories in me
  Cocooned in misery
  
  I'm sick and tired of embracing reflections of past time receive me
  Or cast me away
  God please take me away
  Resistance futile suicidal ideas I will crucify my own being satisfy
  Selfish needs fuck the deities justify my own right to what's waiting
  For me
  
  On the other side the time has come lock and load I'm coming I'm
  Coming I'm coming I'm coming home
  
  Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in
  Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in
  Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in
  Feeble frail and rotting descending I'm lost in
  A structure that's collapsing descending don't want it
  Maker take the body don't want it wants me
  Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in
  Feeble frail and rotting descending I'm lost in
  A structure that's collapsing descending don't want it
  Maker take the body don't want it wants me
  
  I just want to run fly kites wrestle jump and play
  Swim through waves that crash to shore memories in me
  Cocooned in misery
  The darkness overcomes soul soars to the other plain
  Existence past the door I sail through purgatory's bay
  
  I asked a god for poison cradle me sown to my dreams souls searching
  Death blossoms where clouds lie over me held in god's hands death
  Blooming
  
  Dark for fear of failure an inner gloom as wide as an eye and
  Fermenting roiling hate death grip in my veins unveiling rancid
  Petals flowering forth foul nectar the space between a blink and a
  Tear
  
  Death blooms Writer/s: CHAD L. GRAY, GREG TRIBBETT, MATTHEW MCDONOUGH, RYAN MARTINIE

• Matt from Wilmington, Ohthis is a very awsome song love it
• Rhys from Mandurah, WaThis Song rules aye love mudvayne!
• Clovis from Ft. Wayne, Inthis song kicks ass and all i can say is that it prolly has something to do with dying of old age.
• Craig from Lubbock, TxThis song has a very philosophical meaning to me as well, whether Chad Gray meant it to or not. This song reminds me of the classic battle of the ancient philosophers, such as Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato. They all believed in the other world, the one you go to when you die, and it's superior power to this one. They, especially Plato, agreed that such power could be experienced on this plane if one could learn to ignore the distractions. Everyone is torn in three directions in life, constantly, and this is similar to today's modern theories of the Id, Ego, and Super Ego. These philosophers believed that one is torn between the mind, the heart, and the lower regions. The mind is the intellect and logical part of us. The heart is the passionate yet irrational part of us. The lower regions represent the source of everyone's greatest weaknesses. Socrates stated that the very need for food, our hunger, showed just how weak and imperfect the human body is. It represents the basic desires, like those for food or sexual pleasure. On a related tangent, Buddhism is the only religion, that I know of, that believes that the ultimate happiness (Nirvana, comparable to "heaven") can be achieved on earth, on this plane. How can this be done with so much pain in life?, one may ask. Pain is the absence or removal of a fulfilled desire. One attains Nirvana by gradually realeasing all desires in life. It starts by renouncing worldly possessions, but along the way, one is supposed to no longer need food as well. To me, this is the essence of what the ancient philosophers believed, as well as the key underlying meaning of this song. "Pull me out of body, don't want it, don't want in...don't want it, it wants me... memories in me, cocooned in misery...The darkness overcomes, soul soars to the other plane, I sail through purgatory's bay." The ancient philosophers were right. Everything changes (Staind would agree), there are only two constants in life, work and pain. Learn to enjoy the work, learn to appreciate and learn from pain, they you will understand and love the essence of life. "In the space between a blink and a tear, Death Blooms"
• Nicole from Chippewa Falls, WiI think that this song has a lot of meaning and Chad Gray (the singer and song writer) is a great song writer. He Writes about things that are not only weird and exciting but also things that he wants us to know about and to write about this song means that he probably wants us to take care of our people and not neglect them!!! I love you Chad
• Prophet from East Haven, Vtthe prayer type saying at the end of the song is the best part of the entire song.
• Gary from Madisonville, KyIt's about becoming old and not wanting to live anymore. You feel your time has come and there is no point in your staying and decaying, so to speak, on this earth.
