Blackbriar – Beautiful Delirium

I felt like dead flowers in a vase
(Dead flowers in a vase)
Which somebody forgot to throw away
Still standing here on public display
(Still standing here on public display)
All wilted and decayed

Wilted by darkness, wilted by thirst
Wilted by darkness, wilted by thirst
And then you came

You said I was a piece of art
Wild, complex and dark
You called me a magical bouquet
With opium, poppy and wolfsbane
Thorny roses and Nerium
Such a beautiful delirium

I felt like dead flowers in a vase
(Dead flowers in a vase)
Badly and sadly arranged
Hanging low in full disgrace
(Hanging low in full disgrace)
All wilted and strange

Wilted by darkness, wilted by thirst
Wilted by darkness, wilted by thirst
And then you came

You said I was a piece of art
Wild, complex and dark
You called me a magical bouquet
With opium, poppy and wolfsbane
Thorny roses and Nerium
Such a beautiful delirium

You said I was a piece of art
Wild, complex and dark
You called me a magical bouquet
With opium, poppy and wolfsbane

You said I looked like a painting
Mysterious and fascinating
You called me a magical bouquet
With hemlock and deadly nightshade
Thorn apple and lily of the valley
Quite unusual, quite uncanny
Thorny roses and Nerium
Such a beautiful delirium
