Fleur Sauvage (Petals of the Damned)

One, two, three... Turn the lights down. Some things need the sun. Some things only grow at night. [Whispered Vocal Chops] Lune noire... Fleur sauvage... [Verse 1] You said I always make it harder. I said you never let me speak. You count the cracks across the ceiling. I count the nights I couldn’t sleep. You said I’m chasing after shadows. I said the shadows know my name. And every time you tried to save me, you only taught me how to break. [Pre-Chorus] Every word you threw like stone became the soil I made my own. [Chorus] I’m a nightflower, opening under broken light. Every thorn you left inside me keeps me reaching through the night. I’m a nightflower, still alive beneath the scars. You can turn your back and leave me— I’ll be growing in the dark. [Verse 2] You said the cold would finally change me. You said the night would wear me down. But roots don’t ask for your permission. They just keep moving underground. I don’t need you to believe me. I don’t need you standing near. I have lived through every silence. I have learned to live with fear. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t bloom because you love me. I don’t fade because you leave. [Chorus] I’m a nightflower, opening under broken light. Every thorn you left inside me keeps me reaching through the night. I’m a nightflower, still alive beneath the scars. You can turn your back and leave me— I’ll be growing in the dark. [Bridge] You can cut the stem. You can kill the light. But there are things that only wake in the middle of the night. [Build] Lune noire. Fleur sauvage. I was never disappearing. I was learning how to rise. [Final Chorus] I’m a nightflower, opening under broken light. Every thorn you left inside me keeps me reaching through the night. I’m a nightflower, black petals opening wide. You thought the silence meant surrender. I was growing the whole time. [Outro] (Fingerpicked guitar and filtered pulse) [Whispered] Nightflower... I’m still alive.
