Flowers

Flowers akin to the darkness of my heart

Wilt to ashes, one by one, to learn how we part

I'll fade to the backdrop of living

As loneliness rounds in pails

To the infernal pain and promise, of this internal prison cell

You don't mean me no good

Conversations cease to mend the darkness of my heart

As we wade through ashes, one by one, to learn how we part

The only words I understand are of sorrow

I can't afford to compromise

And a healing from feeling all alone with the sun arise

You don't mean me no good

I'm on the fool side of everything you ever said

Oh how I wish you did

But you mean me no good

I pass the roses in rows of houses and fences

They remind me of home

If I can get to the next closest state of mind

That would please me of feeling all alone

There's a better chance we would have to live our days free

If I can cut loose the ties that bind us in

A world that persuades to string us along

Alone in misery

You don't mean me no good

I'm on the fool side of everything you ever said

Oh how I wish you did

But you mean me no good
