Orchids — Stone Sour

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

Cant begin to explain

The feelings I have restrained

Dont ask me how I am

Because youre too busy planning your epitaph

Let me tell you

Dont - 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

Cant begin to explain

The feelings I have restrained

Dont ask me how I am

Because youre too busy planning your epitaph

Let me tell you

Dont - 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 arms length and die a little,

Between your constants by day

I want my soul back before its over,

I cant even wish you away

Cant begin to explain

The feelings I have restrained

Dont ask me how I am

Because youre too busy planning your epitaph

Let me tell you

Dont - 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!!
