Scorpion in a Bell Jar

from Monarch (EP) by A Flower in Disguise

/

lyrics

Don’t give me love if I can’t keep it
With depths like an ocean
To plummet but we soared
The floor opened to roar
As if, utopia absorbed me
Living vicariously
Scorpion in a bell jar, specimen
Don’t give me love if I can’t keep it
I don’t mind a secret

In the moment of burning and blooming
A blacksmith pleads divine, this torment can’t be bought for sale
One of a kind, hell made, christened in the tears of wishing, well, well, still echoing
Dropping centuries telling stories, the old days with a different face
Oh, a tears topography, of abandonment, of happiness
Now frozen over, the dying out of kingdoms on pedestals

The charge of realms
Let me wrap you in my words
First, take me in your hands
Tie me with your tongue
My what a vicious dear
Salty honey, honey
Dry tears

A rotten sweet tooth
Sullen I need my jaw to break
To wipe the eyes from your face
With a gaze that gouges and penetrates
Hearts have wings, so I say your name over and over again
Fluttering with adoration

Don’t give me love if I can’t keep it
With depths like an ocean
To plummet but we soared
The floor opened to roar
As if, utopia absorbed me
Living vicariously
Scorpion in a bell jar, specimen
Don’t give me love if I can’t keep it
I don’t mind a secret

The charge of realms
Let me in, let me wrap you in my words
Heaven give me permission
Can you bear the sin?
First, take me in your hands
Tie me with your tongue
Running, rushing
My what a vicious dear
Salty honey, honey
Dry tears by the years

Made days feel glorious
Always looking in for something more
Freedom implored
The way your words turn me, unremorseful
Lapsing lines and annihilating
Searching every inch of your body
The silence warned you
This torment can’t be bought for sale
