Blossom
Begins with slow, atmospheric fusion of nu blues with hair rock and dark country elements; soulful raspy male vocals over sparse electric guitar with high gain, reverb, and mild distortion. Builds intensity with driving drums, choir harmonies, and echo-laden guitar, morphing into energetic hair rock at the crescendo before plunging into a melancholic, sultry outro with layered choir, delay effects, and mournful guitar textures.

Lyrics
Got a black blossom sittin’ on my sill
Yeah, a black blossom blowin’ on my sill
Ain’t no sunlight in it—
Just the love I couldn’t spill.
[Verse 2]
You passed by daily, never saw my face
Yes, you passed me daily, never caught my face
I kept my words in silence—
Now they haunt this empty space.
[Chorus]
Don’t come knockin’ on my door (I ain’t got nothin’ left to say)
Don’t come knockin’ on my door (I done threw my dreams away)
That black blossom keeps on growin’—
While my heart just fades to gray.
[Verse 3]
Played my song in secret, never let it show
Yeah, I played that old tune quiet, never let it go
You danced for someone else—
And I just watched it flow.
[Verse 4]
Now the wind keeps hummin’ things I used to hide
Yes, the wind keeps singin’ things I used to hide
A black flower in my chest—
No bloom, just hurt inside.
[Chorus]
Don’t come knockin’ on my soul (I’m a house that’s blown away)
Don’t come knockin’ on my soul (Ain’t no light left here today)
That black blossom never opened—
And I never made you stay.
[Outro – Spoken, Slow over Fading Guitar]
It don’t take poison to hurt a man—
Just a heart full of nothin’
And a love he never ran.
Black blossom’s leanin’ west...
Guess I did my best.
