100 Flowers

I see you hanging around,
But I’m better off without.
Poison in my mind,
Now it’s something left behind.
I never thought it would be a little taste of jealousy.
It’s you I can recall singing songs about the future.
Dreams are ways you can connect to life outside a bitter, blank view.
Hundreds of flowers,
You’ve got hundreds of flowers.
Always stuck around the corner waiting for someone to find you.
Do you wonder if they’ll bother?
Tell me all your lies,
But you’re stuck in our hometown.
Sadness seems to drive all your friends away from school.
The last I heard you were fine,
There is no place without you.
Even when the storms arrive,
Don’t try too hard.
Do you see the light behind you,
Closing in upon the shadows?
Slowly shimmers outside your window.
Sleepless nights are not surprising,
All your words they lose their meaning.
Hundreds of flowers, you’ve got hundreds of flowers.
