lyrics
When my day runs low
I'll pick a flower
to counterbalance bad
moods and feelings
that persist all throughout the day
Inside that tiny flower is a resolve
to never be displaced
by those that are crippled and place blame
on their incompetent brains
"But I need what it has
For me bleed, the best that you can
I don't care that I'm snuffing out
the kind of dove you write songs about"
That's how it goes
you keep moving on
as hard as it gets
you're not in the ground
So why was it me?
who never made a sound
my silent hopes
must have rang too loud
But that's me, just fodder
for your lust, dump into me
what you hate about yourself
I'm composed of what life left out
For in my world, I am God
and what is best is what I want
I don't think about the future
or pay unneeded mind
in my life I only matter
far above being kind
When my day runs low
I'll pick a flower
to counterbalance bad
moods and feelings
that persist all throughout the day
Inside that tiny flower is a resolve
to never be displaced
by those that are crippled and place blame
on their incompetent brains
Inside my whole dilemma is a resolve
to never be displaced
by those so pathetic their only excuse
is their incompetent brains
I'll pick a flower
to counterbalance bad
moods and feelings
that persist all throughout the day
Inside that tiny flower is a resolve
to never be displaced
by those that are crippled and place blame
on their incompetent brains
"But I need what it has
For me bleed, the best that you can
I don't care that I'm snuffing out
the kind of dove you write songs about"
That's how it goes
you keep moving on
as hard as it gets
you're not in the ground
So why was it me?
who never made a sound
my silent hopes
must have rang too loud
But that's me, just fodder
for your lust, dump into me
what you hate about yourself
I'm composed of what life left out
For in my world, I am God
and what is best is what I want
I don't think about the future
or pay unneeded mind
in my life I only matter
far above being kind
When my day runs low
I'll pick a flower
to counterbalance bad
moods and feelings
that persist all throughout the day
Inside that tiny flower is a resolve
to never be displaced
by those that are crippled and place blame
on their incompetent brains
Inside my whole dilemma is a resolve
to never be displaced
by those so pathetic their only excuse
is their incompetent brains
