If you gave me
a fresh carnation
I would only crush
it's 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'm out of season
all year round
And machinery raw
to my empty sound
Touch my heart
and feel it hurt
Hold my hand and
be doomed forever
If you gave me
a fresh carnation
I would only crush
it's tender petals
With me you'll
have no escape
And at the same
time there'll be
nowhere to settle
If you're wondering
by now who I am
Look no further
than the mirror
'Cos I am the
need and fear
And every ounce
of hate in you
