Have I seen too much?
Been here too long?
I’ve no idea where i am.
The future is free
But this man; he wants old money to create it
No-one ever told you it would take this much
Go this far
Steal your life, your love
Leave your scars as they’re burning
A deft touch for his mannequin alive
Needed a rock when your heart turned to stone
No hopes of what would remain now you’re buried and gone
You shouldn’t have died so young, so beautiful, so flawed
Life is lost and it’s taken
‘Yellow Flower ‘hang your head in shame’
The city drags the life from your veins
But you cannot let the needle go
The day just turns in upon itself
You’re just a still frame hanging upon his door
Place trust in another’s vision
The only real excuse for life
The coffee’s all gone
Your eyes have run dry
The new money is swimming in a sea of yellow flowers
As a child pushed in and out of hospital doors
No address, you never had a home to call your own
You shouldn’t have died so young, so beautiful, so flawed
Life is lost and it’s taken
‘Yellow Flower ‘hang your head in shame’
The city drags the life from your veins
But you cannot let the needle go
The day just turns in upon itself
You’re just a still frame hanging upon his door
