the flowers

• sözlerin tamamı şöyle:
  
  the flowers you gave me are rotting and still i refuse to throw them away.
  some of the bulbs never opened quite fully
  they might so i'm waiting and staying awake.
  things i have loved i'm allowed to keep
  i'll never know if i go to sleep.
  the papers around me are piling and twisting regina the paper back mummy
  what then.
  i'm taking the knife to the books that i own and chopping and chopping and boiling soup from stone.
  things i have loved i'm allowed to keep.
  i'll never know if i go to sleep.
  things i have loved i'm allowed to keep.
  i'll never know if i go to sleep.
