I planted flowers to survive
And as they faded I stopped to speak
I painted flowers
And nobody knows why.....
No awakening, no lullaby
I only felt the need to try
To have the guts or the stupidity
To grab for stars, that I can't reach at all
Father see, that I have tried
To find that angel deep inside
That you once promised I would meet
And once again I ended in defeat
Even here I could feel your eyes
Heard your whispers and felt your eyes
Brother said "Come back to life"
I asked some friends
And nobody knew why.....
Nobody had ever seen
My flood of tears
I can't believe you found me here
It took some time to find these words
I wrote them down in hope that they might help
Watch me walk barefoot on glass
Insecure as only a newborn child can be
Others came to laugh at me
They pointed fingers as I could see
Believe me saying it's not the skin
It's the stranger living deep inside
Mother see, that all my life
I painted flowers to survive
And as they faded I stopped to paint
I fell asleep
And nobody knows why.....
Father see, that I have tried
To build a world with only me inside
Millions of flowers surround my bed
Now I still grab for stars and I can reach them all
Mother see, that all my life I planted flowers to survive And as they faded I stopped to speak I painted flowers And nobody knows why..... No awakening, no lullaby I only felt the need to try To have the guts or the stupidity To grab for stars, that I can't reach at all Father see, that I have tried To find that angel deep inside That you once promised I would meet And once again I ended in defeat Even here I could feel your eyes Heard your whispers and felt your eyes Brother said "Come back to life" I asked some friends And nobody knew why..... Nobody had ever seen My flood of tears I can't believe you found me here It took some time to find these words I wrote them down in hope that they might help Watch me walk barefoot on glass Insecure as only a newborn child can be Others came to laugh at me They pointed fingers as I could see Believe me saying it's not the skin It's the stranger living deep inside Mother see, that all my life I painted flowers to survive And as they faded I stopped to paint I fell asleep And nobody knows why..... Father see, that I have tried To build a world with only me inside Millions of flowers surround my bed Now I still grab for stars and I can reach them all Explain Request ×
