lyrics

Who planted you?
Who planted you here?

Were you carried on the wind,
fliers dropping from above,
landing silently embedding
in my heart while I sleep.

Poison seeps into my veins,
tendrils feeding on the fear.
It grows taller by the day,
hate reaching up for the sun.

Open the canopy, let the sun in.
It's a battle of wills.
It's a figure of speech.
But you hate to be wrong and you long to be loathed.
And you bathe in the glow of your flame,
the flame, the flame, the fame, the fireflower!

Fireflower, you're strangling me!

Follow the stem down and
pull it out by the root.

Poison sucks up in my veins,
tendrills feeding on the fear.
It grows taller by the day,
hate reaching up to the sky.

If I let it, it will come,
sweet and warm, the liquid sun.
Closing tight around my lungs, my hands, my mouth.

Fireflower, you're strangling me!

Follow the stem down and pull it out by the root.
