LYRICS

FLOWERS
When he took me to his chamber
it didn't shock me, I already knew
of such illicit desires, of lust and struggle,
the rack and the screw
he wouldn't hear me plead
and willingly I agree
he would have let me bleed
so without choice I got down on my knees
But I fill the room the flowers
carnations, daisies, geraniums and lavender
and hide the thorns of sadness
tucked tight under lily petal cadavers
and the morning came in grey
with blood on its hands
he lay contented with his prey
but I lie with another man

In the end I was his spindle
though deliciously I splintered
I was the cut on his finger
I was his Delilah, his little baby winter
I was small and frail, skeletal and pale
but I was Judith in Holofernes tent
he never took my heart but I took his head!
And never shame me for such wanton ways
when I'm the secret that would dig his grave

So I fill the room with flowers
carnations, daisies, geraniums and lavender
and hide the thorns of sadness
tucked tight under lily petal cadavers
and the morning came in grey
with blood on its hands
he lay contended with his prey
but I lie with another man
I lie with another man
