lyrics

What a Pretty Flower

He offered freedom
And she believed him
As he turned the key
Was it cupid, or was she stupid
To fall so easily

She was silenced, by the violence
Of his spoken word
He was singing as he was wringing
The neck of this caged bird

Chorus:
The narcissist has won again
The narcissist has won again
The narcissist has won again
What a pretty flower

First her family
Now her friends
He doesn't want them arund
He asks questions
Makes snide suggestions
But his reasons must be sound

She's still drinking
Forever thinking
He must be the one
To bring the kindness
Heal my blindness
And render me undone

Chorus: -

And he will rot in the ground
If she leaves him now
He will rot in the ground
If she leaves him now
But she can't leave him now
He's taken root

She feeds his ego
Where would she go
He's deleted all her friends
Sick of weeping and scared of sleeping
This nightmare never ends

She found a way out
A whisper, no shout
A silent wave goodbye
A policeman found her
Blood all around her
She'd tried to kiss the sky
She'd tried to kiss the sky

The narcissist has won again
The narcissist has won again
The narcissist has won again
Please leave a pretty flower
Please leave a pretty flower

I didn't think I would like this record but it's so infectious in its ability to change from prog to post rock then to psychedelic and onwards into alternative metal. Such an amazing feat to introduce the saxophone and it sounds so cool, this record is outstanding. Darknight
