Nina Violet — Stealing Flowers lyrics

Lyrics

what is paradise to you, my child?
singing softly as the dovelings coo
dancing all at once with everything
I forgot this as my body grew
I tried everything to keep it near
ripping seabirds out of winter skies
stealing flowers from the honeybee
lacking beauty that belonged to me
strange dreams
dancing with a strange and brilliant ghost
I could not afford to lose the mask
all the darkness falling fast asleep
something in me had just woken up
the light
the fire
the danger, the danger
the light
