lyrics

I picked u a flower just to watch it die

And I can't even begin
Refuse diffuse and then
You'll find out just who is your friend
Can we acknowledge what's within?
Circles of known history
I know what's goin wrong with me
But I can't keep up with everyone
So I'll just pick these flowers for fun
Let them wilt no water in the sun
Righteous death inside this heat
Breath for dirt a meal to eat

And I couldn't say why I didn't even try
To save what little life it had before I picked it from the stem and wandered off and then again and again

You are...
So beautiful so pretty
Why are there oh so many
This land of wealth and plenty is becoming rather empty
Exempt me from all your games
File me down til I got no shame
Because I want to smell each littlle one
Watch them wilt, no water in the sun
Righteous death inside this heat
Breath for dirt a meal please!!!
