Orchids
You hold me inside your iris likeA terminal stain on lifeYou condescend to my primal brainAnd twist me around like a knife
Can't begin to explainThe feelings I have restrainedDon't ask me how I amBecause you're too busy planning your epitaphLet me tell you
Don't try to be the one personWho has stayed just to sayThey never left meAggravated, complicated, someone say itGod, I never learn
You keep me hidden behind a curtainAn audible human displayYou feed me orchids to give me courageAnd keep me in line with disdain
Can't begin to explainThe feelings I have restrainedDon't ask me how I amBecause you're too busy planning your epitaphLet me tell you
Don't try to be the one personWho has stayed just to sayThey never left meAggravated, complicated, someone say itGod, I never learn
I have nothing left for you...You left me with nothingI have nothing left for you...You left me with nothing
I live at arm's length and die a littleBetween your constants by dayI want my soul back before it's overI can't even wish you away
Can't begin to explainThe feelings I have restrainedDon't ask me how I amBecause you're too busy planning your epitaphLet me tell you
Don't try to be the one personWho has stayed just to sayThey never left meAggravated, complicated, someone say itGod, I never learn
I never learn
