Carrion Flowers
Chelsea Wolfe Lyrics
WE LEARNED HOW ON OUR OWN
NEVER NEEDING HELP FROM YOU
REACHING OUT WITH EYES CLOSED
WE FELT THE LIGHT, IT TAUGHT US TO GROW
(HOLD, HOLD, HOLD ON)
CREATURES OF HABIT, CARRION FLOWERS
GROWING FROM REPEATED CRIMES
THE AFTERGLOW IN FULL BLOOM
SLOW AND RELENTLESS, WE’RE AFTER YOU
HOLD ON TO THE PAIN
A PLAGUE
(HOLD, HOLD, HOLD ON)

Chelsea Joy Wolfe was born in Roseville, California, and grew up in Sacramento. She is of Norwegian and German descent. Her father was in a country band and owned a home studio. By the age of 7, she had written her first poem and by the age of 9, she had written and recorded songs which she later described as "basically Casio-based gothy R&B songs."
Inspired by the dark state of the world and the strange connection between all things, she creates a unique musical blend of goth-folk, experimental rock and spiritual realm funeral songs. With influences ranging from the great minds of Ingmar Bergman and David Lynch to Soviet and end-times literature, her songs conjure visions of other dimensions, claustrophobic echo-rooms and parking garage cathedrals.
Wolfe has recorded seven full length studio albums: The Grime and the Glow, which was released on December 28th, 2010 on limited vinyl through Brooklyn’s Pendu Sound Recordings; Ἀποκάλυψις (pronounced “Apokalypsis”), which was released as a 12” LP on August 23rd, 2011; Unknown Rooms: a Collection of Acoustic Songs, which was released on October, 2012 through Sargent House; Pain Is Beauty, out September 3rd, 2013; Abyss, which was released August 7th, 2015; and Hiss Spun, out September 22nd, 2017; Birth of Violence[7i] which was released on September 13th, 2019.

We learned how on our own
Never needing help from you
Reaching out with eyes closed
We felt the light
It taught us to grow
Hold, hold, hold on
Hold, hold, hold on
Creatures of habit
Carrion flowers
Growing from repeated crimes
The afterglow in full bloom
Slow and relentless, we're after you
Hold on to the pain
Of love taken from you
A plague
Hold, hold, hold on
Hold, hold, hold on

We learned how on our own
Never needing help from you
Reaching out with eyes closed
We felt the light, it taught us to grow
(Hold, hold, hold on)
Creatures of habit, carrion flowers
Growing from repeated crimes
The afterglow in full bloom
Slow and relentless, we're after you
Hold on to the pain
Of love taken from you –
A plague
(Hold, hold, hold on)

Slow and relentless, we're after you
Hold on to the pain
Of love taken from you
A plague
Hold, hold, hold on
Hold, hold, hold on

When she opened with this when I saw her live, I felt my soul leave my body. Such an incredible artist. If you get a chance to see her live do not pass it up.

I saw her play almost all of Birth of Violence last fall... best concert of my life besides seeing Oathbreaker and Amenra.

I admire your description.

I knew her from when she was living in Sacramento, Ca and just started performing in seedy bars. She is genuinely an amazing person, through and through. She had a band called Red Host that had a short EP out that was pretty awesome, too. I recommend finding some of it.
