Gnarly Flower

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He walks in with the curtains torn Dust on his boots, a crooked crown Nobody asks what he came here for The whole room tilts when he looks around [Pre-Chorus] His hands smell like rain and gasoline His grin cuts wide through the in-between [Chorus] He has the aura glowing like a fucking gnarly flower Roots through the floor, taking over by the hour He has the aura glowing, ugly, wild, and bright A thorn in the daylight, burning through the night [Verse 2] He keeps a matchbook from a closed-down bar Three dead phone numbers and a rusted key Says every wound leaves a little star Then laughs like the lock was never meant to be [Pre-Chorus] His pulse kicks hard beneath the sleeve He takes what the timid never dare believe [Chorus] He has the aura glowing like a fucking gnarly flower Roots through the floor, taking over by the hour He has the aura glowing, ugly, wild, and bright A thorn in the daylight, burning through the night [Bridge] No clean hands, no polished halo No soft landing, no saving face He grows where the bad soil won't let go And turns the wreckage into place [Final Chorus] He has the aura glowing like a fucking gnarly flower Cracking the walls, taking over by the hour He has the aura glowing, ugly, wild, and bright A thorn in the daylight, burning through the night [Outro] Roots through the floor Roots through the floor Still growing
