Flowers

Tell me what you want me to do when i'm all alone
And i get tempted with the future we invented
Was there no way i could get you to stay
After all the nights wasted relighting something too burnt out to save

You said you want
And so i gave

Well isn't it a dream flushing flowers down the sink when
They look dead and you don't need them any more
Than eyes could see, out of sight and out of reach
From you and everything it meant before we threw it all behind

Tell me what you want me to think with all my thoughts
Collapsing into nothing like a black hole in my brain
Cause i feel helpless, foaming at the mouth spitting blood and
Fading out to jigsaw nightmares i could never figure out

And on last tuesday i thought i felt the floor shake
When you were running out i was relieved but now i
Sometimes find myself
Under the door frames, terrified of earthquakes
But missing how it felt to just collapse and be a part of someone else

Cause you're still gone
And this is hell

Isn't it a dream flushing flowers down the sink when
They look dead and you don't need them any more
Than eyes could see, out of sight and out of reach
From you and everything it meant before we threw it all

Isn't it a dream flushing flowers down the sink when
They look dead and you don't need them any more
Than eyes could see, out of sight and out of reach
From you and everything it meant before we threw it all behind
