Shadow Flower

A flower kept in the dark will never grow or bloom.
Weeds grow all around my soul, my dignity to prune.
Strangle the life out of me, gagged and bound by their vines.
Your pseudo sunshine I don't need.
Just photosynthesis for my mind.

Go ahead and dream as long as we are sharing the same dreams.
Don't Pollute your mind with thoughts and visions we haven't screened.
You shouldn't speak unless you have been spoken to.
Keep'em in the dark.
Don't let their spirit bloom.

Tear the wings off a butterfly before it gets off the ground.
Tar the proud, proud peacock now.
It's colors are profound.
A flower kept in the dark will never grow or bloom.
Weeds grow all around my soul.
My dignity to prune.

Go ahead and dream as long as we are sharing the same dreams.
Don't Pollute your mind with thoughts and visions we haven't screened.
You shouldn't speak unless you have been spoken to.
Keep'em in the dark.
Don't let their spirit bloom.

All my heroes are dead, dying or sold-out.
Was everything they taught me a lie ?
No reflectiondo I see.
So how do I know I am I ?
A flower kept in the dark will never grow or bloom.
Weeds grow all around my soul.
My dignity to prune.
