FLAMBEAU

Flambeau, why do you cry?

Did you fall again for the trick of the light?

I know you're losing your mind

It's a perfect kiss and a deadly bite

I see you laying down your defenses

A crocodile convinced you he was helpless

You can make an ugly thing look beautiful

Paint a reptile in every single shade of gold

Turn an ordinary man into a miracle

But you'll only get so far

You can let him throw a fit and fall asleep

Then turn yourself into the woman that he sees in his dreams

You can hide your hurting when you're looking at me

But honey, if you open your arms, he'll go for the heart

Flambeau, can't you see he takes you for granted?

He'll promise the world and sell you to get it

I know he touches you and then calls you tainted

He'll say you were pretty before he got what he needed

Right now, he's the eye of the storm that you're weathering

But someday soon, I know you could be his reckoning

You can make an ugly thing look beautiful

Paint a reptile in every single shade of gold

Turn an ordinary man into a miracle

But it shouldn't be so hard

You can let them throw a fit and fall asleep

Then turn yourself into the woman that he sees in his dreams

You can hide your hurting when you're looking at me

But honey, if you open your arms, he'll go for the heart

A vacant man is a warning sign

A hollow thing to climb inside

But you're not alone, I served my time

I drank his tears, I stayed the night

(He'll take your life)

You can make an ugly thing look beautiful

Paint a reptile in every single shade of gold

Turn an ordinary man into a miracle

But it shouldn't be so hard

You can let him throw a fit and fall asleep

Then turn yourself into the woman that he sees in his dreams

You can hide your hurting when you're looking at me

But honey, if you open your arms

He'll go for the heart
