lyrics
MY BEAUTIFUL FLOWER
Ring around my lover
I'm a motherfucker
Gashes, gashes....
Your mouth blooms like a cut
Sweet and full of sin
I prick myself on your thorns
And I bleed within
Your petals start to fall
And the weeds attack
In my torture garden
My blue sky is black
My beautiful flower
He loves me not
He loves me
He loves me not
He loves me
He loves me not
My beautiful flower
He loves me not
He loves me
He loves me not
He loves me
He loves me not
Our love starts to spoil
My lips bleed like a rose
Underneath the soil
Is where the evil grows
My petals fade to brown
And you watch me die
In my torture garden
Under black sunshine
My beautiful flower
You love me not
You love me
You love me not
You love me
You love me not
My beautiful flower
You love me not
You love me
You love me not
You love me
You love me not
Your mouth blooms like a cut
Sweet and full of sin
I prick myself on your thorns
And I bleed within
Our love starts to spoil
My lips bleed like a rose
Underneath the soil
Is where my evil grows
I am earth
You can feel me touch you
Hear me breath
Cause it's my air that loves you
And I am fire
You will feel me burn you
Come inside
And I'll be water with you
He loves me
He loves me not
He loves me
He loves me not
He loves me
He loves me not
He loves me
He loves me not
He loves me
He loves me not
He loves me
He loves me not
He loves me...not
