Flowers and Silence

We're always, too always in doubt
Works on me
She's nowhere, she mainlines, helps me out
Now I can speak

Was heard, not seen, wasted, nothing's free
Was black, was bruised, fucked up, twenty two
Was fucked up, twenty two

And I'm amazed, you eat, you sleep, you function at all
'Cause my aim's so weak but I'd fail to get into my arm
Was made the first to laugh
Tried but the tribute short changed kindness
Flowers and silence
Was made the first to laugh
Charmed but the weather broke me sober
I've never been colder

Seen braver, seemed braver since then
But never been
No favors, no saviors, no sense
It's not in me

So nothing's free, ghostdrunk, out of reach
So action this, cared less, never missed

And you preach, you teach, did I learn you nothing at all?
I'm too dumb to see but you stooped for someone this small
Was made the first to laugh
Tried but the tribute short changed kindness
Flowers and silence
Was made the first to laugh
Charmed but the weather broke me sober
I've never been colder

You'll always be closing me down
Works on me
Denied me, remind me
I'm sold out
Just skin and teeth

Left black and bruised, fucked up, nothing new
Was heard not seen, wasted, nothing's free
