A Flower And A Weed

(album: A Portrait Of An Ugly Man - 2020)

I've been up every night this week
On my knees, begging please, please, please
To any hand within my reach
Won't you pick me from among the weeds?

I've heard the fruit is so much sweeter
When there's no sweat upon your brow
I would be basking in the rays of my own sunshine
Were I just given it, I could be content with myself

Until then I'll go through hell
Until then I'll go through hell
Until then I'll go through hell

Please make my dream come true
There's nothing that I wouldn't do

I am a person who's in need
Don't be deceived by my perfect teeth
There is a hunger deep in me
One I can't feed without you watching me

I've heard the grass is so much greener
When strangers offer it to you
I would be high and nobody would ever stop me
Were I just offered it, I could be content with myself

Until then I'll go through hell
Until then I'll go through hell
Until then I'll go through hell

Please make my dream come true
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
