Orchids lyrics
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!!
