Story Behind The Song
Humans are beautifully complex, and we should be able to proudly claim all of our sides, rather than be afraid of them. We can be the darkness/the light, introverted/extroverted, masculine/feminine, anxious/strong, fearful/courageous all at once.

Lyrics
Charcoal and ice
Corrupt advice
You fled to me
Mistreated you
Dirt & gold
Relaxed control
Believed in me
I scorn the truth
Tar & honey
Patient money
You bet on me
I hesitate
Everyone keeps on saying
Oh, they keep on saying
Oh, whoa ho, we are flowers on leather
Oh, whoa ho, no one would put us together
Oh, whoa ho, we are flowers on leather
Oh, whoa ho, no one would put us together
Flowers on leather
Wood and metal
Loyal rebels
You cherish me
I filter you
Tunnel & field
Moldable shield
You wait for me
I run from you
Silk & ashes
Flameless matches
You know yourself
I'm finding me
Everyone keeps on saying
Oh, they keep on saying
Oh, whoa ho, we are flowers on leather
Oh, whoa ho, no one would put us together
Oh, whoa ho, we are flowers on leather
Oh, whoa ho, no one would put us together
Flowers on leather
