Daisies in the Dark is a poignant country rock ballad that tells the story of a young man feeling lost and trapped in his life. With his heart heavy and feeling the weight of the world, he resorts to smoking as a temporary escape. The chorus captures his struggle and resilience as he seeks solace amid darkness, hoping for brighter days and finding his way through his own experiences.
Verse 1:
Sitting on the porch, smoke swirling in the night,
Thinking 'bout the dreams that never took flight.
My friends all seem to shine, while I’m stuck in the shade,
Life’s a twisted road, and I’m afraid I’ve strayed.
Chorus:
Cause I pray for daisies when I fall down on dark days,
And I hate the way you treat me, but God knows I'm gonna stay,
I’m alone on this path, doing it my own way.
Verse 2:
Used to laugh and dance, now I just stare at the floor,
Chasing the bliss while I close every door.
Rolling up the troubles, hoping for a high,
But the clouds just roll in and I can’t seem to fly.
Chorus:
Cause I pray for daisies when I fall down on dark days,
And I hate the way you treat me, but God knows I'm gonna stay,
I’m alone on this path, doing it my own way.
Bridge:
Some days it’s easier to drift with the tide,
But I’ve got this burning fire, it’s my heart that I can’t hide.
Trying to chase the shadows, searching for a sign,
Each inhale’s a whisper, calling me to the divine.
Verse 3:
So I’ll keep on walking, though the road is overgrown,
Searching for the light in this world full of stone.
Every heartbreak’s a lesson, that’s how I’ll find my place,
With every step I’m stronger, I’ll learn to embrace.
Chorus:
Cause I pray for daisies when I fall down on dark days,
And I hate the way you treat me, but God knows I'm gonna stay,
I’m alone on this path, doing it my own way.
Outro:
Yeah, I’m alone on this path, but I’m learning to be brave,
Finding beauty in the thorns, in the garden of my grave.
