Lyrics
The day they covered us in the dirt
like stars in the ground
that will grow into dead flowers
The day they covered us in the dirt
like stars in the ground
that will grow into dead flowers
Your body's on me
like sleepless spiders.
Your touch is so empty
Your touch is so empty
Your body's on me like
sleepless spiders.
Your touch is so empty
Your touch is so empty
Your touch is so empty
Your touch is so empty
I've been running
from the bloodless
for fear of exile
for all of my sorceries
that shun the light
shun the light
I've been running
from the bloodless
for fear of exile
for all of my sorceries
that shun the light
shun the light
The day they covered us in the dirt
like stars in the ground
that will grow into dead flowers
The day they covered us in the dirt
like stars in the ground
that will grow into dead flowers
I've been running
from the bloodless
for fear of exile
for all of my sorceries
that shun the light
shun the light
I've been running
from the bloodless
for fear of exile
for all of my sorceries
that shun the light
shun the light
light
light
light
light
Trivia
- This song's title does not mark Manson's first use of the phrase. A painting by Manson premiered at the 2006 Celebritarian Corporation Gallery of Fine Art exhibition under the name Les Fleurs du Mal, French for "The Flowers of Evil." The following year, the Flowers of Evil exhibition opened in Moscow, Russia.
