Flowers

Lyrics

lily makes your heart beat out of time
iris fills your stomach with butterflies
andromeda would make your outsides tingle
tansy slowly takes your will

larkspur, so young, makes your pulse fly
foxglove flowers like a poison in your mind

daphne feeds you fruit so sour
wisteria brings you seeds to harrow
in golden chains you're staggering
chasing laurel makes it hard to breathe

ivy burns your voice to silence
rosemary stomps all over all your overtures

the flower is sweet but the fruit is trouble
the branch is strong but the leaves still tremble
before you could notice you're overwhelmed
you might cry out but there's no help for you now
you're undone
you took the poison
with a smile

jasmine	makes your fingers flutter
cherry pulls you down and gasping
buttercup melts you from the inside out
thorn apple thirsts for perfect sight

poppy reveals your shallow heart
dahlia burns your tender skin
you'll tremble with delight
incoherent against the light

the flower is sweet but the fruit is trouble
the branch is strong but the leaves still tremble
before you could notice you're overwhelmed
you might cry out but there's no help for you now
you're undone
you took the poison
with a smile
