2. Orchids (4:24)
You hold me inside your iris like a
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
And 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
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
And 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
