My Dark Flower

from Conquest by Black Hay

lyrics

It's been dark without you
I still dream about you
And all the games only you and me understood
Skies full of rolling thunder
Sat here, I have to wonder
Maybe a little rain will do us some good

Is it something I see in your eyes?
Or something I like to fantasise?
Oh me, I can never get enough of a good thing
If the thing is no good for me

Mmmm, I thought I could walk away whenever I pleased
But it's inside me, breathing

In the shadows of your room
Dark flowers started to bloom
We shut the door so the world couldn't see
It was never ours to keep
Still we took both hands and dug in deep
I'm always taking what the serpent hands to me
And I like it

Is it something I see in your eyes?
Or something I like to fantasise?
Oh me, I can never get enough of a good thing
If the thing is no good for me

And When I saw you broken
I knew I had to leave
But only because it killed the buzz for me

This part will make you smile
Turns out I was in denial
I feel the world turn to bring you closer to me
I Hear it creaking slowly

Is it something I see in your eyes?
Or something I like to fantasise?
Oh me, I can never get enough of a good thing
If the thing is no good for me

I could run away and hide
But you planted something deep inside of me
Now everything I tried to hide from
Is all that I can see
My dark flower
My dark flower
My dark flower
My dark flower

Black Hay London, UK

Black Hay is the project of London-born Gideon K and a motley crew of collaborators.

Previously described as "Worse than Leonard Cohen", Black Hay's music has gone from noirish garage rock, to grungey alt-country low-rock, via DIY house-bound balladry, to a current incarnation of cold-hearted post-punk indie synth-tronica.

The new single 'Always Be Mine' is out now. ... more
