Letra de 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 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!!
