[Verse] This is the song that you deserve A twisted body filled with burnt-out nerves A dangerous delusion turned This way and that The brain It twists and turns And this is the song that you deserve A fleeting moment lost to now preserved A body's lying in the dirt The scent of sweet Sweet flowers on the earth [Chorus] I tried to get through to you But you couldn't even see Through the hands on your face Through the smoke and debris I tried to get through to you But you couldn't even see Through the hands on your face Through the smoke and debris [Verse] This is the song that you deserve You close your eyes But still You feel it burn A powerful being emerged With fingertips Just as the singer's curved And this is the song that you deserve The pain of which is mine But I have learned The pain you think you know at first A body's lying in the dirt The scent of sweet Sweet flowers on the earth [Chorus] I tried to get through to you But you couldn't even see Through the hands on your face Through the smoke and debris I tried to get through to you But you couldn't even see Through the hands on your face Through the smoke and debris [Verse] Well This is the song that you deserve I close my eyes and see you as you were A marigold that lost its nerve An iris who still needed time to learn Well This is the song that you deserve I'm closing up your casket Unconcerned A body's lying in the dirt The scent of sweet Sweet flowers on the earth [Chorus] I tried to get through to you But you couldn't even see Through the hands on your face Through the smoke and debris I tried to get through to you But you couldn't even see Through the hands on your face Through the smoke and debris
