lyrics

...And i thought i saw another thorn in an ocean of petals
i thought i saw some hope for me... but unsurprisingly i was mistaken
she was sitting there diagonally across
detached from her friends as they were downing shots
they were drinking to something of little or no importance
and she was staring blankly into the distance

#but i saw nothing in her face , in her eyes or her mouth
no poetry, no symmetry yeah she was just another cow
a smoke filled mirror with disproportionate breasts
and I'll stare at her with contempt till i burn a hole in her dress

cos anybody's who's ever been just a fly on the ceiling nailed by his feet.... bleeding
yeah just an ornament of someone else's selfish vanity will understand misery's selfish need for company
yeah its a need that's never taken seriously so i'll stare indiscreet , cock in cheek ,
till this goddamn universe decides to turn on me
but she's ignoring me she is...she's trying hard but she's succeeding
yeah she's ignoring me she is..and she sure as hell is succeeding

#and she's popping my bubble
yeah she's denying me the attention
the attention that i so desperately need
to escape my own resentment

so i'll stare till i'm stopped or forcibly removed
but i can't stop oh no

cos i saw another thorn ...in an ocean of petals........
