Small Poppies lyrics

I stare at the lawn it’s Wednesday morning,

it needs a cut but I’ll leave it growing.

All different sizes and all shades of green,

slashing it down just seems kinda mean.

In a way it’s a shame you get away thinking it’s just a game.

Who am I to deny myself a pawn for you to use?

At the end of the day it’s a pain that I keep seeing your name

but I’m sure it’s a bore being you.

I don’t know quite who I am oh but man I am trying.

I make mistakes until I get it right.

An eye for an eye for an eye for an eye,

I don’t agree with that why can’t we just talk nice?

Oh the calamity I wanna go to sleep for an eternity…

who am I to deny myself a pawn?

Oh the humanity I wanna disappear into obscurity…

but I’m sure it’s a bore being you.

I don’t know quite who I am oh but man I am trying.

I make mistakes until I get it right.

An eye for an eye for an eye for an eye,

I used to hate myself but now I think I’m alright.

I don’t know quite who I am oh but man I am trying.

I make mistakes until I get it right.

An eye for an eye for an eye for an eye,

I dreamed I stabbed you with a coat hanger wire.
