Orchids
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 me 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 have nothing left for you
you left me witn 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!
I never learn!
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 me 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 have nothing left for you
you left me witn 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!
I never learn!
