There's nothing in me, but emotion and thought In a field of sunflowers I am a lily, that's lost. Screaming, "save me!" Trust me I know the cost "Pick me!" Let me writher and rot Please do not leave me in gloom I will not bloom next summer, And I blame you. I need to die to be alright Help me rise again, Hold me in your hands You say, "I will be your friend" Then you leave me in the dark Bring sunflowers to the eulogy You told me I was not them, but a lily I do not have eyes, yet I know I am art I want to glitter with the stars I know you are the one who tore me apart Stuck my fragments inside of a jar Set me on fire My inclination is gone See me, in the sky, and not in the mirror See me, in the pasture, and not in your tears See me, on the ground, and not as your fears Do not dream of me, but remember me for years

Sunflower
There's nothing in me, but emotion and thought In a field of sunflowers I am a lily, that's lost. Screaming, "save me!" Trust me I know the cost "Pick me!" Let me writher and rot Please do not leave me in gloom I will not bloom next summer, And I blame you. I need to die to be alright Help me rise again, Hold me in your hands You say, "I will be your friend" Then you leave me in the dark Bring sunflowers to the eulogy You told me I was not them, but a lily I do not have eyes, yet I know I am art I want to glitter with the stars I know you are the one who tore me apart Stuck my fragments inside of a jar Set me on fire My inclination is gone See me, in the sky, and not in the mirror See me, in the pasture, and not in your tears See me, on the ground, and not as your fears Do not dream of me, but remember me for years
My greatest heartbreak is to be forgotten.
