Orchid Metabolism - Circuitry Soundscapes

I want to be outrageous But inside I know I'm plain So plain, just plain Boring and plain Silently obsessed with death Just like anyone, I guess Tryin' for the perfect life End up bein' in denial I wanna be somebody Wanna be somebody like you Like you, like you Like you instead of me Silently obsessed with death Just like anyone I guess Tryin' for the perfect life End up bein' in denial

Me and my helmet Such an unconventional kid All intense and kinetic At best tolerated from afar Not yet arrested And by that I mean betrothed Though a start I am newly courted I've just not been trusted with alter I'm a sweet piece of work Well-intentioned, yet disturbed Wrongly labeled and under-fed Treated like a rose as an orchid My friends, as they weigh in Get understandably protective They have a hard time being objective So inside we cancel each other out I'm a sweet piece of work Well-intentioned and unloved Unlabeled and misunderstood Treated like a rose as an orchid You've brought water to me Making sure my bloom rebounds You know best of what my special care allows So I've lived in my blind spot Thought myself usual when I'm not And your garden is a nice spot As long as it is brave and where you are For this sweet piece of work High maintenance and deserted I've been different and deserving Treated like a rose as an orchid Sweet piece of work Overwhelmed, unobserved I've been bowed down to, but so misread Treated like a rose as an orchid

I can't do this anymore I hope you make it past New Year's With a smile on your face Countin' the days since I've known you When your life rearranged And I still just don't know Where the fuck else I'd go 'Cause it's like cancer We just wish it was You're beautiful (Beautiful) That's what you are And I still don't know How we fell in love You're beautiful (Beautiful) I swear it's true And I just don't know What else to do You'll fly alone at Thanksgiving To get out of New York I'm just so happy you're living Wouldn't ask you for more But you still just don't know How to make some place home 'Cause we could've had it Don't you wish we did? You're beautiful (Beautiful) That's what you are And I still just don't know How we fell in love You're beautiful (Beautiful) I swear it's true And I just don't know What else to do You're beautiful (Beautiful) I swear it's true And I just don't know What else to do Tell me, are we Still the only to fall? You're beautiful
