"Royal Flush" lyrics

We've grown this bed of flowers
To lure in the sparrows (Tonight, the doves)
(Stay to the ground)
Their feathers are yours to keep, though they may fall for me alone

She gave you such good taste (Good God)
It won't rot like her
Beneath the velvet skin of neon light (Oh, how you)
Shimmer like you should, withering
You're cursed, exhaling
As it fades, all your shine

And this dress is sewn of roses
And these sheers sharp as thorns
Of filial foliage
Stems growing in lament
Seeds being laid at your wake

She gave you such good taste (Good God)
It won't rot like her
Beneath the velvet skin of neon light (Oh, how you)
Plant a heart of color
And burn this dance in sunlight
Eager as this blade is
To taste of dark red wine
Shimmer like you should, withering
You're cursed, exhaling

As I long for the the air of your home
It's not there

Don't try, don't try to pretend now
Don't try
Don't try, don't try
Don't try to pretend now
Don't try

And though you may live
As a ghost on this floor (Can you hear?)
The carpet is stained by the wine you once drank
Do you see?
As if you could taste
From the fruit they have grown (You will feel)
The embrace of the soil underneath (You once lived)

I am now just as your photo
I breathe through the glass of my frame (Oh)
If you left no body to uncover
She must reclaim the ears I once stole

I don't believe you
How could I?
I don't believe you

She gave you such good taste (Good God)
It won't rot like her
Beneath the velvet skin of neon light (Oh, how you)
Plant a heart of color
And burn this dance in sunlight
Eager as this blade is
To taste of dark red wine
Shimmer like you should, withering
You're cursed, exhaling

All of your
Shine
