He had torn the stitches out before my heavy eyes Could blink in punishments that I failed to keep disguised My words would bring the end of everyone I've ever loved But I won't keep them in and I'll never have enough Oh, enough, oh
But I still dream of children that I'll never have, they'll punish me I mark myself so permanent and I'll never have to fear The God my mother does and I won't be home for long But you can visit me and pray He'll keep you strong
Nobody's asking you for a fight I couldn't stop you if I tried 'Cause my cage is open, words unspoken The fury speaking into me They will haunt you, I will hunt you 'Cause I don't want you to be free
But I've been crawling under every shadow that they tell me to But I don't see the sympathies, the fates There's only you to keep my body up and my feet stuck on the ground I'll never lift them up, I'm just grateful to be bound
Nobody's asking you for a fight I couldn't stop you if I tried 'Cause my cage is open, words unspoken The fury speaking into me They will haunt you, I will hunt you 'Cause I don't want you to be free, oh
Black-hearted flowers for my black-eyed love Black-hearted flowers for my black-eyed love Black-hearted flowers for my black-eyed love Black-hearted flowers for my black-eyed love Black-hearted flowers for my black-eyed love Black-hearted flowers for my black-eyed love Black-hearted flowers for my black-eyed love Black-hearted flowers for my black-eyed love
Nobody's asking you for a fight Well, I couldn't stop you even if I tried 'Cause my cage is open, words unspoken The furies used to speak to me They will haunt you and I will hunt you Because I don't love you anymore, oh
