Flower Whore
Words: Ruby Friedman
Music: Ruby Friedman/Ben Landsverk

I’m not tryna wannabe a queen living a basic dream
I’m gonna wrap you ‘round my finger have you wonder have you linger

We don’t have much hope and we both know we may have only today
Does it matter if I last or if I stay?

Leave ‘em by the door
I’m a flower whore

Why do you keep bringing up my pain and all that’s buried
I told you it’s just me nothing’s wrong with my family move along
Everybody gets beat and hit on when they’re just little kids
My friends had it worse than me
Just give me dope money

Leave ‘em by the door
I’m a flower whore

I don’t know any other way
I tried my best to keep wolves at bay
When night comes and I finally wake
Just let me go or I will break
<floating above her body>
My hands are sewn to bed
The line is flat red
My legs don’t touch
The floor in my head
Don’t come close
Don’t go away
Does it matter anyway?

I’m not tryna wannabe
We don’t have much hope and we both know we may have only today 
Does it matter if I last or if I stay?
Leave ‘em by the door.
