flower power

Bring it back, Mike
One, two, three, four

There's a lily in my windowsill, it seems to stand so tall
I wonder if I don't water it, would it stay standing at all?
And I've looked at it a couple times like the pill hanging on a wall
But I can't escape it any longer, so I continue to fall
It sounds goddamn pretentious how it controls my senses
Overruns my defenses (I can't escape the consequences)

Flowers after hours, the sunsets burnin' on my back
And the hole I live in, I'm still alive
Yet I'll never find out what it was like
Dangers pullin' on my feet, I'm trapped '
Neath the surface and I goddamn hate it
Flowers invade my mind every time

A hell rose that's growin' out of my brain (Ahh!)
The evil in it's calling me insane
It's changing colors like I've changed my clothes (Changed my clothes)
And I'm a wreck and I'm a phonic soul
Yellow brick, yellow, yellow, yellow, red)
And I know that I'm alive, I know just that I'm alive
Brush my skin, bathe in light (I feel like I'm about to die)

Flowers after hours, the sunsets burnin' on my back
And the hole I live in, I'm still alive
Yet I'll never find out what it was like
Dangers pullin' on my feet, I'm trapped '
Neath the surface and I goddamn hate it
Flowers invade my mind every time

A hyacinth is growing in my lungs
Purple and scared like daffodils there
I feel what you feel now
So I let go, but the flowers don't

Flowers after hours, the sunsets burnin' on my back
And the hole I live in, I'm still alive, yet I'll never
Find out what it was like (Tell everybody that wasn't her)
Dangers pullin' on my feet, I'm trapped 'neath the
Surface and I goddamn hate it (Every tear I shed)
Flowers invade my mind every time (Maybe let me go)
