Sallys Orchid — текст песни (Ben Lee)

There is an orchid someone gave me

Flat and pressed under the glass

It once was pink and vivid

But today its day has passed



Its brown leaf spread weak and thin

That orchid feels just like my bones and skin

Its heartbeat centre of its soul

Is now just furry shelter to protect it from the cold



Laid out flat for visual effect

Today I feel a lot like that

I put it in its frame eternal joy

And now its just another burned out toy



You should have seen the way

It slowly just decayed

I feel a lot like that orchid today
