Stone Sour - Orchids

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

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

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

I NEVER LEARN!!
