A flower, sometimes known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants (plants of the division Magnoliophyta, also called angiosperms). The biological function of a flower is to effect reproduction, usually by providing a mechanism for the union of sperm with eggs. Flowers may facilitate outcrossing (fusion of sperm and eggs from different individuals in a population) or allow selfing (fusion of sperm and egg from the same flower). Some flowers produce diaspores without fertilization (parthenocarpy). Flowers contain sporangia and are the site where gametophytes develop. Flowers give rise to fruit and seeds. Many flowers have evolved to be attractive to animals, so as to cause them to be vectors for the transfer of pollen.
In addition to facilitating the reproduction of flowering plants, flowers have long been admired and used by humans to beautify their environment, and also as objects of romance, ritual, religion, medicine and as a source of food.
A stereotypical flower consists of four kinds of structures attached to the tip of a short stalk. Each of these kinds of parts is arranged in a whorl on the receptacle. The four main whorls (starting from the base of the flower or lowest node and working upwards) are as follows:
Theo Parrish is a musician and selector based in Detroit, Michigan, often described as a 'techno/house' artist. He was born in Washington, DC. He grew up in Chicago, Illinois listening to jazz musicians like Miles Davis, Nina Simone, and George Gershwin. He graduated from the Chicago Academy of the Arts and went to study at the Kansas City Art Institute. While at KCAI, he concentrated on sound sculptures, creating sonic pieces by combining live instruments, human voices, and looped recordings. He received his BFA in 1994 and moved to Michigan to focus on musical projects.
He has recorded music under his own name as well as with Rick Wilhite, Marcellus Malik Pittman and Kenneth Dixon Jr as 3 Chairs. He also puts out releases on his record label, Sound Signature. Another aspect of Theo Parrish's productions are his re-edits, often of old disco, funk or soul records. He is almost as renowned for his expansive and genre-hopping live DJ sets as his productions, and plays a monthly residency at the London nightclub Plastic People.
When I was a boy I ran among the flowers
Looking left and right at the bright array
I played through the spring, whiled away the hours
Lingered with the flowers every day
Flowers, pretty flowers, Flowers, life's bouquet
Flowers, pretty flowers, Flowers, along the way
When I became a man I felt the summer showers
When I learned to love I also learned to cry
When I came to know the beauty of the fowers
I wondered why the fowers had to die
Flowers, pretty flowers, Flowers, life's bouquet
Flowers, pretty flowers, Flowers, along the way
When the summer ends and the storms of life are over
When the winter comes and the petals fall away
They may write it on my stone, "He was just a roller
But he stopped to pick some flowers along the way"
Flowers, pretty flowers, Flowers, life's bouquet
[Chorus]
We in the party burning up the weed smoke, weed smoke
Smell us everywhere that we go (we go)

And them bitches aint coming if they cant party
Burning up the weed smoke (weed smoke)
Smell us everywhere that we go (we go)
When niggas try to tell us, we like hold up (hol up)
And them bitches aint coming if they cant

Got no stroke of luck I played my hand (played my hand)

Without a paintbrush too
Bulletproof Wallets, 20 t'ya kids that says made outta Korea
Top Sear, pass the beer, last to see a raj
(?) be beamed up behind the stove askin' how Maria pop Leer
Cursed style near, burst out a purse with the gods you jeer
From Star's Pizzeria, police hate the veer
Especially when the shots ring off in slow motion
when yo' head hit the meter
You lost two leaders, at the same case speeder
Peter Slim Duch shook 'em down for his reefer
James chased the recent with a hatchet on Easter
Two murders in the 'hood, we call 'em double features
Watch how I eat this, freak the best teacher
At the prayer with the preacher, I get (?) in the bleachers
And your girl, I might eat her
I'm a lover, not a biter (well, yeah)

On yo' ass nigga, you heard?
Dirt-ass niggas, ya niggas ain't got a chance
Stadio
One-three
Word up!
Long stem things of beauty
Created by the good Lord
Cut down in the prime of their lives
Boxed up, wrapped in paper
Delivered to your front door
Just to wind up in your garbage can outside
Tell me how many flowers have to die
Before you give this love another try
I've asked you to forgive me at least 9 dozen times
Tell me how many flowers have to die
I'm crazy and I'm desperate
I had you and I blew it
And right now I've got nothing left to lose
I've got a Visa in my wallet
And I'm not afraid to use it
How long the needless violence lasts
Is really up to you
Stop the senseless killing
Can't you hear the roses cry
Baby, how many flowers have to die
You blokes and me have been real good mates, for a long time now,
And if anyone of us ever got in the shit, we'd help each other out,
But now I need your strength and helping hand, more than ever
before,
'Cause I met this bird and no bullshit fellas, she's got me by the balls.
And when she says "Fuck", it sounds like "Flowers",
I could sit, and watch her shit, and roll in it for hours,
I'd give up darts and pool and piss, and wankin' in the shower,
It must be love 'cause when she says "Fuck", it sounds like
"Flowers".
She don't want me playin' darts no more she reckon's bingo's much
more fun,
And you blokes are all animals, she reckon's you're all drunks,
So quit your fuckin' laughin' would you's, you're supposed to be me
mates,
I'm serious for Christ's sake fuck you's, I hope it's not too late.
'Cause when she says "Fuck", it sounds like "Flowers",
I could sit, and watch her shit, and roll in it for hours,
I'd give up darts and pool and piss, and wankin' in the shower,
It must be love 'cause when she says "Fuck", it sounds like
"Flowers".
When she says "Fuck", it sounds like "Flowers",
I could sit, and watch her shit, and roll in it for hours,
I'd give up darts and pool and piss, and wankin' in the shower,
It must be love 'cause when she says "Fuck", it sounds like
"Flowers".
I've been laying down the flowers
I've been waiting in the sun
I've been counting down the hours
One by one
One by one
I've been catching my reflection
I'm still looking at someone
Still perfecting imperfection
Like everyone
Every no one
I even saw it come
Knew the hit would run and run
And I, as it came undone
Knew that I'd lost everything
Everything I'd won
Here's to all the things we'll never
Here's to all we could have done
Here's to what became whatever
Whatever web we spun, web we spun
And I even saw it come
Knew the hit would run and run
And I, as it came undone
Knew that I'd lost everything
Everything I'd won
I've been laying down the flowers
I've been waiting in the sun
I've been counting down the hours
One by one
One by one
And I even saw it come
Knew the hit would run and run
And I, as it came undone
Knew that I'd lost everything
And I even saw it come
Knew the hit would run and run
And I, as it came undone
Knew that I'd lost everything
And I even saw it come
You bring me sunshine
I bring you rain
You bring me smiles
I drive you outta your brain
You bring me up
I bring you down
I bring you flowers
It brings you around
Chorus:
I know that I
Am hard to live with
Try to live with
Out me girl
i Drive you crazy,you drive me mad
We're the best thing we've ever had
You roll your head back
On your shoulders
You roll your eyes
You know it gets to me
Then we roll back
All the covers
We're gonna roll through
Eternity
Repear chorus
Yeah we're the best thing
What I do girl, I did for you
Couldn't see him loving you like I do
What I do girl, I did for you
Couldn't see him loving you like I do
What if flowers came in black and white
Would you still call to me
If I was growing like a tiny seed
Would you still water me
Lovers, lovers weekend on the beach
Used to be us holding hands
But now I love to freeze
Ya'll, two making one
Watching the sun go down under the sheets
Me, you're killing, sick in the rain
Tears froze yesterday, I can't frame
Ya'll, the picture of what I see
You're touching him not touching me, whatever
What I do girl, I did for you
Couldn't see him loving you like I do
What I do girl, I did for you
Couldn't see him loving you like I do, now
What if flowers came in black and white
Would you still call to me
If I was growing like a tiny seed
Would you still water me
Uh, the door was unlocked
I walked in the house and the door I lock
Sand, sand everywhere
Clothes on the stairs, the moment I feared
What I could hear
Blazed my heart and cursed my ear
I stood in the doorway
When was the last time we kissed that way
I moved so fast, there was no time to defend my blast
Before we hit the floor
All I heard was calling "don't hit him no more"
What I do girl, I did for you
Couldn't see him loving you like I do
What I do girl, I did for you
Couldn't see him loving you like I do, now
Stay with me, don't disappear
What if flowers came in black and white
Would you still call to me
If I was growing like a tiny seed
Would you still water me
What I do girl, I did for you
Couldn't see him loving you like I do
What I do girl, I did for you
Couldn't see him loving you like I do, uh
Dance with me like we did last year
Stay with me, don't disappear
Dance with me like we did last year
Stay with me, don't disappear
Dance with me like we did last year
Stay with me, don't disappear
Dance with me like we did last year
Desperate desire all in tune
By the doors of a legend to
Lonely time eaten towers
Resemble nothing that is ours
Where all the flowers are
Here to greet the sun
Oh no the stars are gone
I know we¹ll see them later on
Drowned in a bath of eternal lust
Sleep sort of a visual dust
Maybe you went too far
I want to be where you are
Where all the flowers are
Here to greet the sun
Oh no the stars are gone
I know we¹ll see them later on
So many years have since gone by
Strangle design how heroes fly
All that remains is true
How the music plays for you
Where all the flowers are
Here to greet the sun
Oh no the stars are gone
Someone's gone away
Forever
Someone's gone away
Too soon
Did they take him
Up to Heaven
Or did they take him
To the moon?
Nobody answers
Sll her questions
So she gazes at the skies
Maybe someday
When she's all
Grown up
She'll join them
In their lies.
And just before
She turns away
She crafts a little smile:
She brought me flowers and then she'd say
Don't give me emotion 'cause I'll throw it away
She brought me flowers I heard her say
Don't give me emotion 'cause I'll throw, I'll throw it away
Throwing it away
She's got the power to make me stay
I don't know if I like it but I just can't run away
She's got the power to make me stay
I don't know if I like it but I just can't, just can't run away
Just can't run away
And what I've learned, learned from this is
Is that a kiss is just a kiss
And what I've learned, learned from her
Is that to love you gotta be who you are now
You can't just turn, turn away
From who you are, what you wanted to be
You gotta learn, learn to see
That it's not enough, enough for me
You can't just turn, turn away
From who you are, what you wanted to be
You gotta learn, learn to see
That it's not enough, enough for me
I want it all, I want it all
Right or wrong, right or wrong
I want it all, I want it all
She brought me flowers just to say
She'd packed her bags, she's leaving, she's on her way
She brought me flowers, that's okay
Never Heard Of It - Flowers
If I'm alive...
It's only because you took me by suprise
When I saw you with him
I never had the guts to ever realize
How hard can I try...
I bought you some flowers but they died on the way
I brought you dead flowers
Guess that they feel the same
So take these dead flowers
Keep these dead flowers
So you can forever think of me
I hope you die and when you die
I hope that it's slow and it's painful and lasts forever
For every breath that I don't take
And every coin thrown in the fountain
I'll wish you suffer
For the death you put me through
You killed me this one last time...
I bought you some flowers but they died on the way
I brought you dead flowers
Guess they feel the same
So take these dead flowers
Keep these dead flowers
So you can forever think of me
In exchange for these flowers
I'll take back the hours
I spent trying to feel that way
I had a dream, far away from here,
Far away from you, far from all the pain.
With strength in numbers, the sad betrayal braves,
Return to desecrate those memories again.
And there you were taking flowers from my grave ...
I kiss the ground but I can hardly breathe,
As you scrape me from the pavement once again.
Safety in numbers, you thought I'd washed away,
Flowers come in different colors and shapes
They're all incomparable 'cause no one's the same
On this big plot of land, there's a million righteous men
Waiting to pick a flower and make her a women
How come you cannot see your majesty?
You're a flower, that itself makes you beautiful
How come you cannot see your glory?
You're a flower, you've got to love yourself
I am a rose but I did not know
I was stuck in a dread yard, impossible to unfold
But when God sent It's light and he gave me life
I knew that I would go to places where I could grow
How come I could't see my majesty?
I'm a flower, that itself makes me beautiful
How come I could't see my glory?
I'm a flower, I've got to love myself
How come you cannot see your majesty?
You're a flower, that itself makes you beautiful
How come you cannot see your glory?
You're a flower, you've got to love yourself
You, you, you
You, you, you (gotta love yourself)
You, you, you (gotta love yourself)
Can't you see you're beautiful?
Title - Flowers
see the people dead in cars
see their bodies bleed
i know he's so dead and gone
i think that is free
his body is upon the wall
his teeth are sharp and white
we cut his eyes with razorblades
and out of him comes foul white light
in the eastern carpet store
he is made of dreams
put his picture on the wall
just where the mirror gleams
his body is upon the wall
his teeth are sharp and white
we cut his face with razorblades
and out of him comes foul white light
his power's all around his feet
there's flowers in his heart
if you take the needles out
his body falls apart
his body is upon the wall
his teeth are sharp and white
we cut his hands with razorblades
and out of him comes foul white light
make a god of politics
make a god of police
worship it with automobiles
worship it with screams
his body is upon the wall
his teeth are sharp and white
he cuts his feet with razorblades
and out of him comes foul white light
make a god of useless drivel
sew it at the seams
float it down the river
where the sewage is the sea
his body is upon the wall
his teeth are sharp and white
he cuts his teeth with razorblades
and out of him came stupid light
the children will sing
a song in the streets
it sounds like the 23rd psalm
to the music of 21 guns
the flowers are dead
in a vase by the bed
the place where the old woman died
it's the place where she started her life
the papers will all say her name
but probably print the wrong date
the day that she died
cause we're all gonna die
cute little puppies, and bunnies, and birds
people who sing when they don't know the words,
you will die
cause we're all gonna die
it's just part of life
all men, women, children
hermaphrodites too
animals, aliens, and certainly you
you will die
cause we're all gonna die
cause everyone dies
and all that was ever and all that will be
single celled creatures anything green
you will die
cause we're all gonna die
start saying goodbye!
from the moment you start up the miserable life
you should know that it's only a matter of time
'til you die
cause we're all gonna die
start saying goodbye
and the morons at labels who think they know tunes
the army of lawyers that threaten to sue
the hookers that blow them when I just want food
and the asshats that download and never bought tunes
you should die
cause we're all gonna die
i can't wait til you die
all protestants, catholics, and orthodox jews
you dumb scientologists
and guys who bend spoons
well buddhists, err... sort of
and atheist's too
all you wackjob believers
nobody's immune
you will die
cause we're all gonna die
KISS YOUR ASS GOODBYE
and sarcastic songwriters
guys with tattoos
drummers and bassists
and engineers too
and every last person that sang in this room
they will die
cause we're all gonna die
yeah we're all gonna die
cause we're all gonna die
yeah we're all gonna die
I want certain words more than a thousand flowers
Memory rubs in my heart like sand on my feet
My heart is frozen tonite like blue coral in the sea
You are my twilight though not always right
You are so kind like the tide by my side
Because of time we lost our pride for love
I feel I'm alone again in the heat wave
I wish we could meet again,
Flowers growing
By the drunken river
Flowers growing
By the burning bridges
Flowers growing
Out of my bones
On the toppled towers flowers growing
On an island above flowers growing
Behind a mirror, behind a door
Flowers growing
Drifting fires of orange flowers
Roll down the stair, down from a star
Where they lie so long, beneath the seasons
Dead among the
On the toppled towers flowers growing
By the drunken river flowers growing
On an island above flowers growing
Out of my bones
Drifting carpets of orange flowers
Roll down the stairs, down from a star
Where they lie so long, beneath the seasons
Dead among the
Drifting fires of orange flowers
Lift from your eyes, out with a breath
Where they lie so long, beneath the seasons
I can never calm you down
And I can never turn you around
And I could never bring you flowers
And I could never turn you around
I could be there when you're sleeping
I could be inside your dreams
And I can be there when you're sleeping
And I can be inside your dreams
Oh yeah I, oh yeah
Stand at the kitchen sink
Feeling a plastic mood
Buildings have gotta change
'Cause baby, you're a lunatic
I could be there when you're sleeping
I could be there in your dreams
And I could be there when you're sleeping
And I could be inside your dreams
Oh yeah I, oh yeah
Stand at the kitchen sink
Feeling a plastic mood
Buildings have gotta change
'Cause baby, you're a lunatic
I could be there when you're sleeping
I could be there in your dreams
And I could be there when you're sleeping
And I could be inside your dreams
I'm complicated, my colours are shaded
Making me strong but sometimes I've faded
I can't be perfect, not even close to
I let my guard down and baby you know you
Push me too hard
It's more than I can take
I'm fragile I can break like flowers
Don't tear us apart
It took so long to grow
Don't let the petals fall like flowers, flowers, flowers, flowers
I was so open I'm starting to close
Defending my heart like a thorn on a rose
Don't let it dwindle down into nothing
Bring back the man that I fell in love with
You pushed me too hard
It's more than I can take
I'm fragile I can break like flowers
Don't tear us apart
It took so long to grow
Don't let the petals fall like flowers, flowers, flowers, flowers
Flowers need the sun
Flowers need the rain
But they don't need someone
They don't feel the pain
Like I do, I do
I need you
Don't let it dwindle down into nothing
Bring back the man that I fell in love with
You pushed me too hard
It's more than I can take
I'm fragile I can break like flowers
Don't tear us apart
It took so long to grow
Don't let the petals fall like flowers
You pushed me too hard
Don't tear us apart
Flowers
I should have took you dancing
A little candlelight romancing, with roses
But I was high up on a barstool
Yeah, I was such a blind fool
Now I know it
You won't believe how much I've changed since you left
It took losing you for me to find myself
Oh I wish that you could see me
Steady hands without the whiskey
You'd be so proud
I got a job down at the factory
A brand new suit for Sunday
And I'm in church now
It's been one year since I sat behind a bar
I went by the junkyard,
And they've still got our car
I still see you on your knees
Begging me not to drive
But I took away the keys
And made you climb inside
And I'd take your place in this field of stone
If I only had to power
Look what it took
For me to finally bring you flowers
Lord, I'd take your place in this field of stone
If I only had the power
Look what it took
For me to finally bring you flowers
Twin, we've been best friends
Ever since we were little kids
So I sit and remenisce
On all the things we ever did
I remember
All the stupid s--- I can't forget
Hope God forgive us for our sins
and give you the strength to live
Far from sensitive
But I'm shedding tears right now
Cause I'm watching you fight for your life
And I can't help out
Meanwhile, the doctor's shocking your chest,
Checking for breath
I was with you from the stretcher
To the hospital bed
Not believing it yet
Everybody sad and depressed
Counting your blesings, praying and praying
Hoping for the best
Waitin in pec
Your wife duke shaking from stress
Breaking in tears and fear
Cause dog, she love you till death
Next thing you know, the doctor comes out
Just shaking his head
Nothing was said
But I read it in his face full of sweat
You were dead
Just all I saw instead was blood shot red
And I felt a chill throughout my body
That I'll never forget
God Bless You
(CHORUS) x2:
Flowers for the dead
At times I hear your voice still in my head
Wishing you were here instead
These precious memories I can't forget
(Unas flores para los muertos)
In my sleep I hear you speaking to me
And feel you reaching to me
Wish I could see you
Though I know you with me spritually
Physically, right here besides me
Is where I need you to be
Keeping me company
And take over this whole industry
Memories, of when we used to be
Too deep in the streets
If there was beef
We had each others backs naturally
If there was need for me to grab the heat
You'd grab it from me
And blast off with no remorse
Just as long as its me
Young indeed
We sat and chat
On the block puffing trees
Guzzeling Hennesey
Playing knucles til one of us bleed
You used to eat Rocks
And read encyclopedias to me
You was a geneous
Even though you had no college degree
We were homies
But you will always be a brother to me
So close
We always gave each other kiss on the cheek
Big P, your legacy will always live on the street
And best believe
I'm a be there for your wife and 3 seeds
Rest In Peace.
(CHORUS)
Yeah,This is dedicated to the ones who never made it
I hated the fact you faded away
You were the greatest
So I say this prayer to pay my respects
I'll never forget you cause you special
I'll catch you in my heart
May God bless you
Rest in peace to my peoples
Who passed away (passed away)
Best believe I'ma keep you alive
Always (always)
Till the day we meet again
Face to face with a grin
In hell or heaven
You my twin to the end
And I'ma miss you
(Chorus)
You're taking flowers from my gravestone,
I can feel your heavy feet pressing on my bones,
Like you always did,
Walk too heavy around me, I used to think you didn't give a shit
Now I know you saved it all up just for me,
I play with words when you come by,
Because you always played at games I don't like,
I'm a really strong woman, With no reception,
I'm a really good girl, Just in a bad direction,
I think I followed you around too much
I think I really should have looked down,
When I looked up, At you, with your strange expressions
And lights of attitude dimmer than your erection,
Yes, I remember it well, I know I shouldn't but,
What the hell, It's just a dick and so are you,
Flowers on the phone
Silent and surprised- Circleman:
( Memo dynamite. Instant emocide )
"Quite some time"
"Hope that you’re ok, days are ugly I.."Flowers said
"Don’t know where I’ve been, not sure where to go." Flowers said
"Empty I’m inside, some things never die." Flowers said
And I fell
Waiting. Deadendgames
Listening for that sound. Circletime
Meaning searching home. Eaten up by words
"Heading where?"
Nothing’s beyond. Nothing. Repair
Always: Heart
Nothing to forgive. Nothing to forget
Our lives?
They're nine to seven
Why aren't things wild?
You said you was a flower child
I can respect your soul searching
But now's no time for questioning
I'm sure you've been misled before
And once you'd trust they'd slam the door
But I'm everything I claim to be
You just need vodka and honesty?
Do you know who i am
Do you know who i am
My love is real
As real as the flowers you smoke to get high
My love is real
As real as our god who has spoken on how we can fly
My love is real
As real as flowers
You're 22 why aren't you free?
You're mom and daddies victory
A soul that's lived a thousand lives
Don't hide behind a childs eyes
I'm sure you've been misled before
And once you'd trust they'd slam the door
But i'm everything i claimed to be
You just need vodka and LSD?
Do you know who I am
Do you know who I am
My love is real
As real as the flowers you smoke to get high
My love is real
As real as our god who has spoken on how we can fly
My love is real
As real as flowers
I love you you hate me
I took math class that ain't a fair exchange
I call you you hang up
Don't have to be a bitch and get your # changed I'm sorry forgive me
I never meant to call you those names
She lives for flowers everyday
When she's with me
She hides the grey
Put on your skin it's time for tea
The world lights up so quietly
You're swimming in my mind so constantly
And every other time you're all I see
I'll drink you in
When I'm in need
I'll pour you out
You're all I see
The world evolves so patiently
To clone these feelings of jubilee
Choose what my eyes are to see
Can you point the beauty out
Bonjours mademoiselle petite fleur! Ça va bien aujourd’hui? (Fun, fun,
fun sun! Flowers!)
Sguardo! I fiori sono cosi bei!
Die Blumen sind schon, sehr schon!
Las flores son hermosas!

Bonjours mademoiselle petitie fleur! Ça va bien aujourd’hui?
Oui, ça va très bien merci!
I am a flower…
I said I do, and I do
But I don't do the dishes and the windows
She said she do, and she done
But she don't turn the fishes into minnows
Can't stop my hands from shakin' ...no ...no
Today's the day, I'm on my way
I'm bringing flowers to the girl I love
I won't be late, I'm on my way
I'm bringing flowers to the girl I love
They said we do, and we done
But we won't turn our feathers into pillows
We said we do, and we don't
And we won't turn the tables on our fellows
Can't stop my head from aching ...no ...no
Today's the day, I'm on my way
I'm bringing flowers to the girl I love
I won't be late, I'm on my way
I'm bringing flowers to the girl I love
Everytime I turn around, catch you on the fly
When our ships are passing by, sail up to the sky
Today's the day, I'm on my way
I'm bringing flowers to the girl I love
I won't be late, I'm on my way
Walk away
Like there's nothing left to say
Walk away
Like it doesn't mean a thing
Leave me cold
From your icy gaze
Your heart of snow
Leave me cold
Don't even try
To look my way
Lose me in the crowds
Don't even try
Hide yourself away
Cover your face
With all the empty things you say
With all the wasted days
That I gave
Who'll be the one
To chase the ghosts away?
Who'll bring you flowers
And place them on your grave?
Who'll be the one
To hold on to your name?
Who'll be the one
There was a time
there was a place
I pack my bags and explore new coasts
the end of flowers
I need some new experiences
the trees are rimed, the past shall burn
nside my heart there is a hole
the end of flowers
Endless summer raining, colour-fading
the end of colours with you
I cry a tear for you
there's nothing I can do
the end of colours
Our movie has turned
to black and white
there is no chance for a new start
I had a doubt, I had a heart
the end of colours
there was the time when I loved you
when I caressed you, yeah that's true
you play your games, so silly game
the end of flowers
Endless summer raining, colour-fading
the end of flowers
water wipes away bad memories of you
Woah baby
Always be
Did I say
Woah baby
Oh, I'll bring you flowers
Woah baby
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, I, I, ah, ah

Lets talk about it 'cause I ca't do without it Your love. it means so much to me

Right here beside you
I will never deny you my love
You're everything to me

Because I need you so

Did you know living without you is driving me insane

The tears you cry, I'll dry them all away
Woah baby

And if one day you went away
I'd feel so lonely inside
I can't deny that I would break down and cry
And all those flowers they would wilt in the rain
And it would cause me misery and pain
Because I need you so

And you know, That everbody has a lesson everyday, Your
constant whinning I could hear from yesterday, And I
know, That all your whinning makes me wanna go insane,
and I cannot repair anything yesterday, I wanna go eat
flowers I wanna.... I wanna eat 'em for breakfast I
wanna, I wanna go eat flowers I wanna.... I wanna eat 'em
for breakfast I wanna.... Well I'm slow, I tried to tell
you but you shunned it yesterday, It's overwhelming when
I told you twice today, And It's cold, I'm so confused
with the things from day to day I couldn't tell you cuz
This is all about you yeah Flowers of your love I want you to tell me...
So crazy about you Like totally breathless It was my...first love I threw away everything for you And I thought you could do that too I lost myself in your eyes and couldn't help How silly I was And when you left me all alone Why couldn't I tell you “Please, don't go away”?
But I said, “It's over” 'Cause I believed in you I was bluffing... Now I know I could do better for you Too late, to wait I cry without the voice I know I was wrong I try to wash the pain away from me
So tell me, tell me Was our love for real? It's sad to say it had to be done Really, really Sweetest memories You made me feel like I am worthy Baby, baby I gotta get over Your smile's branded on my mind I need to tell you something you don't know “I'm sorry” I hope everything we did was right I thank you for your love The flowers of your love
Blooming The flowers That you gave me It's still in my heart So beautiful When I was alone You came around And say “it's okay” Then take me to another place I liked everything The way you make me feel You helped me believe You set me free The only thing I needed was you babe I just wanted you by my side
But now it's over since I fell in love with you I had this feeling Something special Oh something real I say goodbye Now I feel you so far away Oh please tell me Why... You left me alone
So tell me, tell me Was our love for real? It's sad to say it had to be done Really, really Sweetest memories You made me feel like I am worthy Baby, baby I gotta get over Your smile's branded on my mind I need to tell you something you don't know “I'm sorry” I hope everything we did was right I thank you for your love The flowers of your love
I woke up in the dark I was looking for you But you were not with me So lonely inside I closed my eyes to see your face I tried to remember The dream of you But I could just remember that you were smiling at me Listen to that song you loved again and again And your voice that I never hear anymore
This is my favorite sad story,
Forget me not or I'll forget myself
I've got quite a few things that I'm afraid of
Sometimes I just can't face myself
This is my favorite sad story,
Forget me not or I'll forget myself.
I guess I'll tuck myself away tonight,
You know it's been one of those days.
Every pretty flower,
Every lovely flower,
Every deadly flower
Hides its light inside of shame.
I do not know why you don't know,
I cannot reap what you have sown
Beneath this blanket of loose soil,
Wrapped around my mortal coil.
Well a stem is not a rose,
But that's how my garden grows.
I can't see the forest for the trees,
The stinking poison for disease
Now it's all shot to hell and back again.
I seek redemption for the
Same old sins and I fall on my knees,
And I pray that all the poppies they
They will just fade away.
But fields of poppies they remain.
That's how they found me last time, dead
This is my favorite sad story,
Forget me not or I'll forget myself.
I've got quite a few things that I'm afraid of,
Sometimes I just won't face myself.
This is my favorite sad story,
Forget me not or I'll forget myself
I guess I'll just tuck myself away tonight
You know its been one of those days.
Every pretty flower,
Every lovely flower,
Every deadly flower,
Hides its light inside of shame.
I do not know why you don't know,
I cannot reap what you have sown,
Beneath this blanket of loose soil,
Wrapped around my mortal coil.
Irises lay in spring mud,
Where lovers drown each other's sorrows,
Where lovers dream about tomorrows.
As for me I drown another kind as
Sadness runs course through my veins.
Posie wreaths they crown me.
My heart, My heart
I should just fade away, fade away
Heaven seasons rite
Got to be the same
Got to feel the lords grain in my hand
All mine said the reeve
I won't even share
I won't even divide this part of me
Oh, this isn't right
Oh, this isn't fair
All you brothers we must take more care
We are all the same
We are all the life
So we shouldn't waste this precious little time
Take it and you leave
You won't get it far
Pick a flower and disturb a star
Make up all your mind
Make it broad and wide
We shall overcome in the love of life
First I thought I won't
Then I think I might
Cold are the winds when I am alone
????
Drowning to the screams I hear inside
Cursed be the love denied
Oh, I hide my face from passers-by
Still I hear that bitter goodbye
All those shallow words of hope
Say, you're trying to save my, save my soul
Like flowers they wither away
Nothing's real on these days of pain
Like flowers they wither away
Life and death is one and the same
'til the river runs red like blood
Here I lie and curse the gods
Those who made me and left me die
Whose wars rage under blackened skies
Oh, I hide my scars from passers-by
No one will see me down and defiled
All those shallow words of hope
Say, you're trying to save my, save my soul
Like flowers they wither away
Life and death is one and the same
In the ruins I am doomed to dwell
Petrified, seen the depths of Hell
Like flowers they wither away
