Lyrics Flowers - Leopold and His Fiction

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 back, drop a 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 ways I understand 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 all
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 ties that bind us in
A world that sways 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
