Flowers of the Night (Yön Kukkia)

[Intro] [Soft VHS hiss, underwater pads, lo-fi kick lightly tapping] Fog rising over the city, light flickering behind the signs. I breathe in the cold air and let the night open me. [Verse 1] [Soft rap, airy] I watch the dark shapes moving, they murmur my name back to me, heat beneath my fingers burning all the way through the dark. Dreams are sliding down the window like city light through water, I walk alone through these streets, but I'm never really alone. [Soft vocal echo]: Stars keep turning color as I step in closer, my breath leaves traces on the cold pane in the stillness of the night. [Pre-Chorus 1] [Sung, dreamy] When this whole world changes and the heart beats in an uneven time I let it all go soft, let the night carry me back again. [Chorus 1] [Sung, floating but powerful] Flowers of the night growing deep inside me, they burn bright when I come apart. Above the clouds I'm screaming out loud I don't fade, I catch light all over again. [Drop] [Vocal chop, modulated] Fo—fo—fog… FOG... Fo—fo—fog… FOG! Fo—fo—fog… FOG... Fo—fo—fog… [Bass drops heavy] [Sung]: The city is screaming, I hear every cry The city is screaming, I hear every cry nothing can hold me, I cut right through it all! [Screamed]: PUSH UP! PUSH UP! LET IT GO! [Verse 2] [Rap with grit] My boots are soaked in fog, and my mind is on fire. My own dark shapes match my cadence like drums with no roots. [Rap intensifies] Metal in my spine, cold air filling my lungs, but my heart beats so hard the sound fades before it lands. [Scream whisper] "Wake up." "Wake up." "Wake up." "Wake up." [Pre-Chorus 2] [Kick doubles, pads swell] When my own voice comes back to me, and fear becomes a kind of power, I no longer ask permission to be alive the night is mine, and I claim it. [Chorus 2] [Sung, raw and fierce] Flowers of the night growing deep inside me, they tear me open — but I hold. Beneath the earth I cry without a sound I am not a phantom, I am ablaze! [Bridge] [Soft, cosmic] Everything I feared is just a remnant underneath the snow. When the world splinters apart, I am born once more. [Metal guitars fade in through reverb cloud] [Harsh growl]: LIFT ME UP! I WON'T COME APART I TRANSFORM! TRANSFORM! LIFT ME UP! I TRANSFORM! [Final Chorus] [Full power] Flowers of the night growing deep inside me, they burn bright when I come apart. Above the clouds I'm screaming out loud I don't fade, I catch light all over again. [Outro] [Soft kick, pads dissolving] The fog carries me back, the city sleeps. A quiet light is burning inside me soft, but eternal. [Cassette stop click]
