Plastic Flowers

Every joy has a pain on the other side
Every birth starts with a cry
Every freedom brings on unexpected ties
Every love means something in you dies

Don't believe happiness comes with thousand roses
I don't believe in easy roads
I know it grows as
Little flower, shining bright
Squeezed tight among hard, cold pavestones
So fragile yet undefeated
Trodden on, spat on and torn, still bursting out defiant
No matter how hard they treat it I know they'll never beat it

Every pain has a joy on the other side
Every darkness may be pierced with the faintest light
Every cry lets out what has been hidden
Every lie may reveal the truth unbidden

Don't believe in sunlight that casts no shadows
I don't believe in too bright colours of plastic flowers
Perfect blossoms of unwaning dyes
Like the eyes of a dummy in disguise, forever nice
Green leaves that don't wither, decline, fall dry
They just carry on, without a thorn
Without a strife, but they're not alive

Don't believe happiness comes with thousand roses
I don't believe in easy roads
I know it grows as
Dandelion, shining bright
Squeezed tight among hard, cold pavestones
So fragile yet undefeated
Trodden on, spat on and torn, still bursting out defiant
No matter how hard they treat it I know they'll never beat it
I know they'll never beat it
