1
If you gave me a fresh carnation
2
I would only crush its tender petals
3
With me you'll have no escape
4
And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle -
5
I trample down all life in my wake
6
I eat it up and take the cake
7
I just avert my eyes to the pain
8
Of someone's loss helping my gain
9
If you gave me a dream for my pocket
10
You'd be plugging in the wrong socket
11
With me there's no room for the future
12
With me there's no room with a view at all -
13
I am out of season all year 'round
14
Hear machinery roar to my empty sound
15
Touch my heart and feel winter
16
Hold my hand and be doomed forever -
17
If you gave me a fresh carnation
18
I would only crush its tender petals
19
With me you'll have no escape
20
And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle.
21
And if you're wondering by now who I am
22
Look no further than the mirror -
23
Because I am the Greed and Fear
24
And every ounce of Hate in you.
