The Caryophyllaceae, commonly called the pink family or carnation family, is a family of flowering plants. It is included in the dicotyledon order Carophyllales in the APG III system, alongside 33 other families, including Amaranthaceae, Cactaceae, and Polygonaceae. It is a large family, with 86 genera and some 2,200 species.
This cosmopolitan family of mostly herbaceous plants is best represented in temperate climates, with a few species growing on tropical mountains. Some of the more commonly known members include pinks and carnations (Dianthus), and firepink and campions (Lychnis and Silene). Many species are grown as ornamental plants, and some species are widespread weeds. Most species grow in the Mediterranean and bordering regions of Europe and Asia. The number of genera and species in the Southern Hemisphere is rather small, although the family does contain Antarctic pearlwort (Colobanthus quitensis), the world's southernmost dicot, which is one of only two flowering plants found in Antarctica.
was it destiny or was it me
when i was crushed under both your feet
from the depths i was born again
but not the kind that you would expect
for the first time i was free
to view the whole and not just a piece
from the depths i was born again
a binding contract that never bends
but i won’t live the same day twice
i was born and then i lived
and i won’t dwell over why
i was born and then i lived
there’s no plans i cannot break
there’s no choice i have to make
there’s no plans i cannot break
there’s no path i’m meant to take
but i won’t live the same day twice
i was born and then i lived
and i won’t dwell over why
i was born and then i lived
i’m not worried about what comes next
there’s nothing but what i make of it
i’ll make sure that there’s nothing left
and there’s no reason to be frightened
are you thinking all the time it’s all unknown
is it any surprise we’re scared of calling it home
it’s a big place to find yourself wandering alone
i’ve got questions that don’t have no answers, i’ve got things i’ll never know
i’ve got questions that don’t have no answers, i’ve got things i’ll never know
no i won’t live the same day twice
won’t believe in it
no i won’t live the same day twice
won’t believe in it
(fade to black space sounds great
fade to gray okay
fade to white sounds nice
fade to black space sounds great
fade to white sounds nice)
at the edge it’s begun to rip
i spent my entire life afraid of it
and so instead of hiding
i’ll split it open and i’ll jump right in
i’ll cause the biggest rift
i’ll pry it apart and i’ll make it fit
there’s no reason to be frightened
because it’s just dark and that’s all it is
and by the time it’s over
i won’t have noticed
