Corey Taylor Orchids Lyrics

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
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!!
