Orchids

歌詞

You hold me inside your iris like a terminal stain on life You condescend to my primal brain and twist me around like a knife Can't begin to explain The feelings I have restrained Don't ask me how I am Because you're too busy planning your epitaph Let me tell you Don't—try to be the one—person Who has stayed—just to say They never left me Aggravated, complicated, someone say it God, I never learn.... You keep hidden behind a curtain, an audible human display You feed me orchids to give me courage and keep me in line with disdain Can't begin to explain The feelings I have restrained Don't ask me how I am Because you're too busy planning your epitaph Let me tell you Don't—try to be the one—person Who has stayed—just to say They never left me Aggravated, complicated, someone say it God, I never learn.... I have nothing left for you... you left me with nothing I live at arm's length and die a little, between your constants by day I want my soul back before it's over; I can't even wish you away Can't begin to explain The feelings I have restrained Don't ask me how I am Because you're too busy planning your epitaph Let me tell you Don't—try to be the one—person Who has stayed—just to say They never left me Aggravated, complicated, someone say it God, I never learn.... I never learn!
