Orchid

[Verse 1]
Me, and my helmet, such an un-conventional kid
All intense and kinetic, at best tolerated from afar
Not yet arrested, and by that I mean betrothed
Though a start I am newly courted
I've just not been trusted with alters

[Chorus]
I'm a sweet piece of work, well intentioned, yet disturbed
Wrongly label-ed and under-fed, treated like a rose as an orchid

[Verse 2]
My friends, as they weigh in, get understandably protective
They have a hard time being objective
So inside we cancel each other out

[Chorus]
I'm a sweet piece of work, well intentioned and unloved
Unlabeled and misunderstood, treated like a rose as an orchid

[Bridge]
You've brought water to me, making sure my bloom rebounds
You know best of what my special care allows

[Verse 3]
So I've lived in my blind spot
Thought myself usual when I'm not
And your garden is a nice spot
As long as it is brave and where you are

[Outro]
For this sweet piece of work, high maintenance and deserted
I've been different and deserving, treated like a rose as an orchid
Sweet piece of work, overwhelmed, un-observed
I've been bowed down to but so misread
Treated like a rose as an orchid
