Carnation
If you gave me a fresh carnation
I would only crush its tender petals
With me, you'll have no escape
And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle
I trample down all life in my wake
I eat it up and take the cake
I just avert my eyes to the pain
Of someone's loss helping my gain
If you gave me a dream for my pocket
You'd be plugging in the wrong socket
With me, there's no room for the future
With me, there's no room with a view at all
I am out of season all year around
Hear machinery roar to my empty sound
Touch my heart and feel winter
Hold my hand and be doomed forever
If you gave me a fresh carnation
I would only crush its tender petals
With me, you'll have no escape
And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle
If you're wondering by now who I am
Look no further than the mirror
'Cause I am the greed and fear
And every ounce of hate in you
La-la-la, la, la, la la, la, la
La, la, la, la la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la la, la, la, la, la
La...
I would only crush its tender petals
With me, you'll have no escape
And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle
I trample down all life in my wake
I eat it up and take the cake
I just avert my eyes to the pain
Of someone's loss helping my gain
If you gave me a dream for my pocket
You'd be plugging in the wrong socket
With me, there's no room for the future
With me, there's no room with a view at all
I am out of season all year around
Hear machinery roar to my empty sound
Touch my heart and feel winter
Hold my hand and be doomed forever
If you gave me a fresh carnation
I would only crush its tender petals
With me, you'll have no escape
And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle
If you're wondering by now who I am
Look no further than the mirror
'Cause I am the greed and fear
And every ounce of hate in you
La-la-la, la, la, la la, la, la
La, la, la, la la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la la, la, la, la, la
La...
