Daisies

Three shiny bullets
A mile and train
I think of you
I think of yelling
Of roses and scratches
Too tired to say goodbye
Daisies, Daisies, Daisies

Feathers between fingers
Just an annoying little girl
Polishing the silverware
I wanted to help you
I wanted to hold you
You wouldn’t even cry
Daisies, daisies, daisies

Happy and bright
Happy, so happy
Ashes and soot
Roses and thorns are us
But you gave me, game me gave me
Daisies, daisies, daisies

The ripples your toes make
In the cold, cold lake
The strings break
Neither of us can wait
A letter and an empty closet
No more hearing your screams
I won’t share your nightmare
Daisies, daisies, daisies

Asleep in the armchair
It’s just a piece of metal
But you’ve kept it all these years
Diamonds and silk
Say what they will
But we ruled the world
Daisies, Daisies, Daisies

Petals and stems
Petals so soft
Loves me, but stands me not
Roses and thorns are us
But you gave me, gave me, gave me
Daisies, daisies, daisies

Crescent moon
Ink on your face
At our fingertips
Fighting with smiles
Who are they to be happy?
Daisies, they die
Daisies we burn
Daisies we shoot
Three shiny bullets

A blade, a sheath
A blade so tempting
Love you, need to live
Roses and thorns are us
But you gave me, gave me, gave me
And I gave you up
