[INTRO] Come in, come in, there’s room beside the flame. You can leave your heavy heart, you can leave your name. Don’t mind the frost collecting on the door. Everybody finds their peace here eventually. (Oh, what a lovely night.) [VERSE] Rainbow in my eyes, got a halo in the glass, Tell me all your troubles, let the evening pass. Little golden fans and a welcome at the gate, I’ll listen to your sorrow while I quietly wait. They’ve called me a miracle since I was just a child, So I learned to tilt my head and wear a gentle smile. Say you’re tired of the world, I can make it disappear, There’s a reason all the flowers keep on blooming here. You keep looking at the windows, they’re painted shut in white, Hear the footsteps down the hallway? That’s the settling of ice. I’m not cruel, I’m not angry, I don’t even feel the thrill, I just watch the room go quiet when the air becomes still. [PRE-CHORUS] You came looking for an answer, For a hand to pull you through. But the warmth was only painted, And the winter’s breathing you. [CHORUS] Don’t breathe in, don’t breathe in, When the white flowers bloom. He’s smiling like a savior While the frost fills up the room. Run before the doors turn silver, Before the sky forgets its blue. If he tells you this is heaven, That’s when heaven swallows you. Oh-oh, beautiful and cruel, Don’t mistake his smile for truth. Upper Moon Two. Upper Moon Two. [POST-CHORUS] (Ooh) Pretty little paradise, (Ooh) Don’t you pay the price. [VERSE] Every face is like a painting, every prayer is like a song, Every stranger calls me holy till they notice something’s wrong. I can laugh at all your stories, I can cry upon a cue, But there’s nothing in the center where a feeling should come through. Watch the lotus open slowly, see the diamonds in the air, Like a thousand little stars caught in the ribbons of my hair. Take a breath and feel it burning, that’s the part you never knew, All that glitter in the moonlight isn’t snow that’s falling through. I can turn a room to winter with a gesture of my hand, Make a thousand frozen petals dance exactly as I planned. You can swing a blade in anger, I can smile and step aside, Keep a garden full of secrets where the faithful come to hide. [PRE-CHORUS] There’s a hush beneath the laughter, There’s a hunger dressed in grace. And the last thing you’ll remember Is the kindness on his face. [CHORUS] Don’t breathe in, don’t breathe in, When the white flowers bloom. He’s smiling like a savior While the frost fills up the room. Run before the doors turn silver, Before the sky forgets its blue. If he tells you this is heaven, That’s when heaven swallows you. Oh-oh, beautiful and cruel, Don’t mistake his smile for truth. Upper Moon Two. Upper Moon Two. [BREAKDOWN] One step past the curtain, there’s a chapel made of snow, Little footprints cross the marble where the missing people go. He says nobody is lonely when they’re gathered in his care, But the candles don’t give heat and there’s a warning in the air. Pretty eyes can hide an emptiness that never learned to ache, And the gentlest invitation is the hardest one to break. The lilies climb the rafters, all the exits disappear, And a smile is all he offers when the end is drawing near. [BRIDGE] Isn’t it strange? I know the shape of grief, I can name a thousand feelings I have never learned to keep. You can shout until you’re shaking, you can beg me to be kind, But there’s no one at the window looking out from deep inside. [BUILD] And the fans unfold like wings, And the whole cathedral sings. Every blossom turns to knives, Every breath is borrowed time. If the sweetest voice you hear Makes the winter disappear— No, it didn’t disappear. It’s already in the air. [DROP] Don’t breathe in! [CHORUS] Don’t breathe in, don’t breathe in, When the white flowers bloom. He’s still smiling like a savior While the frost consumes the room. Now the doors are shining silver, Now the sky has lost its blue. And the promise of forever Was a mouth that swallowed you. Oh-oh, beautiful and cruel, There’s no mercy shining through. Upper Moon Two. Upper Moon Two. [OUTRO] Come in, come in, there’s room beside the flame. You can leave your heavy heart, you can leave your name. Look at all these lovely flowers. Aren’t they beautiful?
