My Night Garden
Opening with experimental industrial textures and tribal Maori percussion, verses feature deep, raspy vocals that slide fluidly between registers against descending triplet electric guitar patterns. Each section layers intense bluescore and sadcore melodies in Ionian mode, climaxing in post-metalcore crescendos with lush orchestration, distorted guitars, and rich atmospheric density.

Lyrics
Intro – Whispered Chant
stay away
stay away
stay away
from the flowers...
Verse 1 – Main Voice
Black flowers bloom where the light won't go—
Roots in my ribs, petals dipped low.
They drink my tears, they breathe my sighs,
Each bloom unfolding a beautiful lie.
Refrain – Second Voice, Whispered Underneath
Flowers in a dark garden—
You shouldn’t pick.
Black and deadly flowers—
You shouldn’t touch.
Verse 2 – Main Voice
Someone sowed sorrow in my chest last spring,
With a voice like velvet and a silver ring.
Said, “This won’t hurt,” but God, it did—
Now I bleed color from where they hid.
Chorus – Call and Echo
Stay away (They look like love but rot inside)
Stay away (They pull you in with nothing to hide)
Stay away (One breath and it’s too late to run)
From the flowers (The damage is already done)
Stay away (They bloom in silence, bloom in sin)
Stay away (They wrap around you, pull you in)
Stay away (You won’t escape the scent, the thrill)
From the flowers (They kiss you soft—and then they kill)
Verse 3 – Main Voice
I’ve seen red roses and blue in bloom,
But none like the black ones in this room.
They hum like secrets, sting like rain—
Beauty and sorrow twisted in pain.
Refrain – Spoken Softly, Second Voice Underneath
Flowers in a dark garden—
You shouldn’t sniff.
Black and deadly flowers—
Breathe out myth.
Flowers in a dark garden—
You shouldn’t lick.
Black and deadly flowers—
Poison thick.
Bridge – Spoken Word Over Sparse Music
Ain’t no sunlight where I bend,
No soft wind, no kind end.
Just thorny stems in a heart gone black—
And blooms that whisper,
“No way back.”
Verse 4 – Main Voice
You say you’re strong, you say you’ll last—
But the black flower waits,
And it don’t ask.
It grows in silence, slow and sure—
It knows your name.
It knows you're pure.
Chorus – Final Chorus, Dual Voice Stronger
Stay away (You don’t know what you’re touching here)
Stay away (They bloom in shadow, bloom in fear)
Stay away (They bloom in lies and velvet breath)
From the flowers (They sing in beauty, dance in death)
Stay away (One taste and you will never leave)
Stay away (They bloom in hearts that still believe)
Stay away (But once they root, they never go)
From the flowers (They bloom in you. And then you grow.)
Outro – Whispered Spoken Word, Fading Echoes
When they find me,
let 'em know:
the flowers were mine—
I let them grow.
