Flowers to the Gods
music and lyrics by Charles Ian Chun

can I enunciate and include everything I have to say
without tripping over my own tongue?
typical, because I'm such a dumbass
do I dare to try and attempt just one more time
when the odds are always up against me?
I've been through all of this before, you see

how can I be good enough without becoming some macho scumbug?
weighed down by a rock in a rising tide
maybe I'll just give up, but that would be the act of a poltroon
did it occur to me I'm not anyone's type of guy

flowers to the gods

did my eyes fail me?
but I thought I saw you smiling at me
your own politeness was the only fact
I've known too many girls like that
I don't want to be misled, but this is something unprecedented
initiated with a flower sent and ending in my own embarrassment

how can I be good enough without becoming some macho scumbug?
weighed down by a rock in a rising tide
maybe I'll just give up, but that would be the act of a poltroon
did it occur to me I'm not anyone's type of guy

flowers to the gods
