Stone Sour - Orchids lyrics

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 have nothing left for you

you left me witn 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!!
