Carnation Lyrics - Jam

If you gave me a fresh carnation 

I would only crush its tender petals 

With me you'll have no escape 

And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle - 

I trample down all life in my wake 

I eat it up and take the cake 

I just avert my eyes to the pain 

Of someone's loss helping my gain 

If you gave me a dream for my pocket 

You'd be plugging in the wrong socket 

With me there's no room for the future 

With me there's no room with a view at all - 

I am out of season all year 'round 

Hear machinery roar to my empty sound 

Touch my heart and feel winter 

Hold my hand and be doomed forever -

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

If you gave me a fresh carnation 

I would only crush its tender petals 

With me you'll have no escape 

And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle. 

And if you're wondering by now who I am 

Look no further than the mirror - 

Because I am the Greed and Fear 

And every ounce of Hate in you.
