dark pop, brooding synths, haunting female vocals, layered percussion

Lyrics
Verse
You wear petals like a crown
Soft as silk
A smile so sweet
It could curdle milk
Whispers in the garden
Shadows shift
Your kindness hides a venomous gift
Chorus
Look like the flower
Bloom in the sun
But be the serpent when the day is done
Soft on the surface
Sharp where it counts
Twisting the roots
Pulling them out
Verse 2
You walk like light but leave no trail
Your eyes are calm
Yet storms prevail
Perfume thick with a poison sting
You're the quiet before the reckoning
Prechorus
I see the thorns
I feel the bite
You dance in day
You hunt at night
Chorus
Look like the flower
Bloom in the sun
But be the serpent when the day is done
Soft on the surface
Sharp where it counts
Twisting the roots
Pulling them out
Bridge
No one hears the hiss
No one sees the strike
Your garden grows
But nothing’s right
Petals fall
The truth breaks free
A serpent’s coil
For all to see
