Scientist's Daughter

I've got a garden in my head The wildflowers are overgrown No one told me how to tend it Or how it could turn dangerous The flowers grow down my throat Make it hard to speak my mind There's so much I want to say to you But petals leave a metallic taste I'm overwhelmed how to contain it Seeds in my veins pollen on my tongue Strange perfume poisons Whoever comes close enough to touch I wanted more than you could give me You wanted to live a life free Of terrible blossoms promising Fatality in a kiss I'm overwhelmed how to contain it Seeds in my veins pollen on my tongue Strange perfume poisons Whoever comes close enough to touch
