Carnation

[00:00.91] If you gave me a fresh carnation
[00:04.68] I would only crush its tender petals
[00:09.39] With me you'll have no escape
[00:13.49] And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle -
[00:17.29] I trample down all life in my wake
[00:22.32] I eat it up and take the cake
[00:26.33] I just avert my eyes to the pain
[00:30.48] Of someone's loss helping my gain
[00:34.65] If you gave me a dream for my pocket
[00:38.54] You'd be plugging in the wrong socket
[00:42.40] With me there's no room for the future
[00:46.59] With me there's no room with a view at all -
[00:50.92] I am out of season all year 'round
[00:55.48] Hear machinery roar to my empty sound
[00:59.65] Touch my heart and feel winter
[01:03.82] Hold my hand and be doomed forever -
[01:09.10]
[01:31.21] If you gave me a fresh carnation
[01:36.81]
[01:51.02] I would only crush its tender petals
[01:55.29] With me you'll have no escape
[01:59.57] And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle.
[02:03.65] And if you're wondering by now who I am
[02:08.54] Look no further than the mirror -
[02:13.11] Because I am the Greed and Fear
[02:17.05] And every ounce of Hate in you.
