Bouquet of Poison

[Verse 1] When I untie the crimson ribbon A sinful flower breathes its sweet perfume In the depths of your eyes I see A whirlpool only I can drown you in Blooms in the night sky, fragile and bright Shatter like glass with a single touch The lie called “I love you” Clings sweeter than honey [Pre-Chorus] Cold fingertips trembling slow Reaching for the pain you crave [Chorus] Just for tonight, believe the lie Drink the poison from these lips of mine Even if you’re stained in crimson hue Only I will know the truth of you [Verse 2] A rose’s thorn grazes your cheek Teaching you the taste of tears The voice that whispered “forever” Rings so sweet it could tear apart A dress that doesn’t suit me sways A trap to bind your gaze in place Don’t run away, just stay right here And drown in this sea of honey [Pre-Chorus] With my touch upon your lashes closed I hold the thirst that drives me mad [Chorus] Just for tonight, believe the lie Drink the poison from these lips of mine Even if you’re stained in crimson hue Only I will know the truth of you [Bridge] Until the final bloom has withered I’ll burn this night into our souls This bouquet steeped in lies and sin Still sings a song of love [Chorus] Just for tonight, take it in your hands— This bouquet of flowers, withered to the end. Buried beneath a blessing drained of color, I fall into a sin that’s mine alone. [Final Chorus] Just for tonight, be deceived— At the end where dripping poison leads, An endless sea dyed in crimson red, I carve a truth that’s mine alone.
