lyrics

LYRICS:

[Verse 1:]
Graveyard's just another dead end
So I'm heading up, east
Forget-me-not, I'll think of you
Sitting like the sphinx, out on the beach

[Verse 2:]
Sail to smell the roses
Oh so red, just like two Lips
Hair like pasta, lobster love
We'll mate, until this boat flips
And I'm pushing daisies

[Chorus:]
So do or don't you 'til you're dead?
I'm plucking petals 'til the end
Either way, here's some flowers for you, girl

[Verse 3:]
Look at me like family
But I see the tree split
Aromas of jazzmen, roamers of lands that
You won't ever see
Unless you're with me

[Chorus]

[SKRD:]
Blindsided by her existence
Staring at the face of true beauty
How can I resist it? Eyes could envision
Mind wouldn't listen
Contemplated questions but the heart beats shush 'em
Hard to keep looking
Emotions weren't easy to express but (sigh)
Look where I took em
Culinary arts turned culinary thoughts
Now 718's don't remind me of Brooklyn
Reminds me of pain, remind me of shame
look at what I lost and look at what I gained
Armani can't exchange all that I obtained
Your lies but receipts can't show the cost I paid...up
So I roll, would just let you in my heart but why would I impose?
Opened up the package, ripped apart the note
Pulled my pedals gone and turned my flowers Amber Roses

[Outro:]
Flowers bloom for you
Even if you do, even if you don't
Either way
Flowers bloom for you
Even if you will, even if you won't
Either way
Flowers bloom for you
You could take the whole bouquet, you could feed it to the sea
Either way
Flowers bloom for you
Could you 'til you're dead? Could you 'til you're done?
Either way
Flowers bloom for you, girl
