To the Flowers

"And we hope somehow through time, through outward events, through political action, through organizations that things will become normal, sane and healthy. But I'm afraid they never will" To the flowers I'm staring at myself Scared of all I can't feel And I'm dancing on the edge Punching at the doorbell Try not to wake the neighbours now We're all high as the gods And as low as the demons But she's alone I'm saving it for best Taking all the sentiment And starting at the end Pain in single measures Try not to wake the neighbours now We're all high as the gods And as low as the demons But she's alone We're all going, down, down, down Down, down, down We're all going, down, down, down to the flowers We're all going, down, down, down to the flowers (Down down down) (Down down down) (Down down down) (Down down down) (Down down down) I miss the optimist who told me I need nothing (Down down down) Who said the consequence was equal to the moment (Down down down) I wish for the start while I pray for the end (Down down down) Let's take it all for granted, I know nothing's gonna change at all (Down down down) I miss the optimist who told me I need nothing (Down down down) Who said the consequence was equal to the moment (Down down down) It's closing time when they turn up the lights (Down down down) Let's take it all for granted, I know nothing's gonna change at all (Down down down) It's too late, nothing's gonna change at all Nothing's gonna change at all To the flowers To the flowers

You're bringing me down Down (Feel, focus, breathe, euphoria) (Sleep, trauma, heal, gloria) You know there ain't no easy way out Clot the wound I'm addicted to the pain And so are you The wolf cries mercy for its own kind We bump the needle every time Cut me loose I'm sick of this, so sick of this It's time for you to hear my truth I wanna breathe again Without sinking beneath You're suffocating me I wanna feel weightless on the edge You're bringing me down Down (Feel, focus, breathe, euphoria) (Sleep, trauma, hеal, gloria) The wolf cries mercy for its own kind Wе drop the needle every time (Time) Cut me loose I'm addicted to the pain And so are you A love that's scorned I wanna breathe again Without sinking beneath You're suffocating me I wanna feel weightless on the edge Do you feel out of focus? Do you breathe to find euphoria? Sleep through the trauma just to heal Dreaming in gloria If time won't heal us, destroy me while you have the chance Three strikes for the compliant, no silent ignorance In blind allegiance, we fall to the river Styx for the sinners, asphyxiate me (A-A-A—) Asphyxiate me
