V5.5

[Intro] The sun bleeds out, the shadows creep While the rest of the world falls asleep You wait for the dark to show your face A midnight bloom in a hollow place [Verse 1] Your petals open to the moonlight's chill A silent perfume that the night winds spill I stand at the edge, I breathe you in A beautiful sickness beneath my skin I'm drawn to the thorns, I'm drawn to the dark A moth to the flame, a bite to the mark [Pre-Chorus] The air is thick, the scent is a lie I know I should run, but I'm paralyzed I reach for your leaves, I touch your skin And that is the moment the burn begins... [Chorus] Oh! Blooming in the dead of the night! You feed on the dark, you swallow the light! I'm breathing you in, I'm losing my mind The sweetest destruction I'll ever find! Nightflower! [Verse 2] The red starts to spread, the fever takes hold I played the romantic, but the truth must be told I thought I was strong, I thought I was immune But I'm scratching the surface, howling at the moon Your touch is a fire, your kiss is a blight A cynical joke in the middle of the night [Pre-Chorus] The air is thick, the scent is a lie I know I should run, but I'm paralyzed I reach for your leaves, I touch your skin And that is the moment the burn begins... [Chorus] Oh! Blooming in the dead of the night! You feed on the dark, you swallow the light! I'm breathing you in, I'm losing my mind The sweetest destruction I'll ever find! Nightflower! [Bridge] (Music drops out completely. Just a haunting, echoing clean guitar and a heavy, slow bass pulse. Very atmospheric) (Whispered, dark, reflective) They say some flowers heal... But yours just leaves a mark. A creeping vine. A burning fire. A beautiful, toxic dark. (Guitars start chugging, building immense tension, snare drum rolling) It's not a romance! It's a fatal design! You're creeping up my veins! Like a poisonous vine! [Breakdown] Nightflower! Burning through my veins! Nightflower! Nothing but the pain! I reached for a rose, but I'm tangled in weeds! A beautiful sickness that fatally bleeds! ... You're toxic! You're toxic! [Guitar Solo] (Melodic, soaring, emotional twin-guitar harmony solo, crying and melancholic over the heavy rhythm) [Chorus] Nightflower! Blooming in the dead of the night! You feed on the dark, you swallow the light! I'm breathing you in, I'm losing my mind The sweetest destruction I'll ever find! [Outro] (Heavy riff slows down, fading into the atmospheric clean guitar from the intro) (Haunting clean vocals, fading out) The sweetest destruction... Just a creeping vine... .. Burning me alive... [End]
