Lyrics

[Chorus 1] If you gave me a fresh carnation I would only crush it's tender petals With me you'll have no escape And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 2] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 1] If you gave me a fresh carnation I would only crush it's tender petals With me you'll have no escape And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle [Verse 3] And 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 [Outro] 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 La-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la
