[Verse 1] I dream of roots in scarlet soil, that bloom beneath my skin, Of petals fed by fevered thoughts, of sins that creep within. Each night they twist a little more, each night they deeper grow, A garden sown with darker seed, that none but I shall know. [Pre-Chorus 1] The moonlight hums, the air stands still — Something stirs against my will. [Chorus 1] Beneath my bones, the roots entwine, They drink the dark, they call it mine. They twist, they bloom, they break, they bind, No mercy shall be left behind. [Verse 2] One night I wake in cold despair, my breath a ragged thread, My gown with crimson blossoms stained, a hare lies torn and dead. Its eyes reflect a mirrored truth, I scarce dare meet its gaze — A thing within has slipped its chains, a hunger will not stay. And still the garden softly grows, its roots now reaching wide. [Pre-Chorus 2] It whispers low, it calls my name — And I no longer feel the same. [Chorus 1] Beneath my bones, the roots entwine, They drink the dark, they call it mine. They twist, they bloom, they break, they bind, No mercy shall be left behind. [Verse 3] The night compels my trembling feet, to where the embers glow, The kitchen hums with life and light — the blade is all I know. Her startled cry is quickly hushed, the blood runs warm and sweet, And laughter bubbles from my throat — a song of dark deceit. The garden blossoms fully now — and I am overgrown. [Pre-Chorus 3] The roots entwine, the soil is mine — I bloom beyond this human spine. [Chorus 1] Beneath my bones, the roots entwine, They drink the dark, they call it mine. They twist, they bloom, they break, they bind, No mercy shall be left behind. [Bridge] Now silk and lace my visage hide, I walk where noble hearts reside. In candle’s glow and whispered breath, I court the waltz, I deal in death. For London’s halls, so proud, so fair, Shall never know what festers there. [Chorus 2] Beneath my bones, the garden grows, It blooms in blood — it overflows. And I — reborn through pain and sin — Let every hunger bloom within.
