Flowers

This is my favourite sad story
Forget me not, or I'll forget myself
I've got a few things that I'm afraid of
Sometimes I... I just can't face myself

This is my favourite sad story
Forget me not, or I'll forget myself
I guess I'll just tuck myself away tonight
You know it's been one of those days
Every pretty flower
Every lovely flower
Every deadly flower
Hides its life inside of shame

I do not know why you don't know
I cannot reap what you have sown
Beneath this blanket of loose soil
Wrapped around my mortal coil

Well, a stem is not a rose
But that's how my garden grows
Can't see the forest for the trees
Mistaking poison for disease
Now it's all shot to hell and back again
I seek redemption for the same old sin
And I fall on my knees
I pray that all the poppies they...
They will just fade away
But fields of poppies they remain
And that's how they found me last time - dead

This is my favourite sad story
Forget me not, or I'll forget myself
I've got quite a few things that I'm afraid of
Sometimes I... I just won't face myself

This is my favourite sad story
Forget me not, or I'll forget myself
I guess I'll just tuck myself away tonight
You know it's been one of those days
Every pretty flower
Every lovely flower
Every deadly flower
Hides its life inside of shame

I do not know why you don't know
I cannot reap what you have sown
Beneath this blanket of loose soil
Wrapped around my mortal coil

Iris' lay in spring mud
Where lovers drown each other's sorrows
Where lovers dream about tomorrow

As for me, I drown another kind
Sadness runs course through my veins
Possies wreath, they crown me
My heart, my heart

I should just fade away
I should just fade away
Fade away

Like a flower
