Lyrics
ORCHIDS
Steady, my love comes straight for you
Steady, my love goes down on you
Frozen tears, thawed and swallowed.. Out comes the autumn breeze
I smile, then I hand you a bloodless rose
I'm trying to make all your orchids grow...
The farther I fall, I fall right beside you..
Everything that I do seems to push you...
All of the shit that I do seems to push you away...
And these tears I've cried....
I cried this ocean for you....
Now drown in my love and come floating in my arms...
You gave me... You gave me a taste of heaven
Feel me, am I still inside?...
Under your skin I've made my home... I cant leave you alone
Im choking... choking on this bloodless rose
But Im trying to make all your orchids grow.. and grow
The farther I fall, I fall right beside you..
Everything that I do seems to push you...
All of the shit that I do seems to push you away...
And these tears I've cried....
I cried this ocean for you....
Now drown ....drown with my love and come floating in my arms...
Floating in my arms...
