Carnation |
| If you gave me a fresh carnation |
| I would only crush its tender petals |
| With me you’ll have no escape |
| And at the same time there’ll be nowhere to settle — |
| 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 |
| 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 — |
| I am out of season all year 'round |
| Hear machinery roar to my empty sound |
| Touch my heart and feel winter |
| Hold my hand and be doomed forever — |
| If you gave me a fresh carnation |
| I would only crush its tender petals |
| With me you’ll have no escape |
| And at the same time there’ll be nowhere to settle |
| And if you’re wondering by now who I am |
| Look no further than the mirror — |
| Because I am the Greed and Fear |
| And every ounce of Hate in you |
