The flowers you gave me are rotting
and still I refuse to throw them away.
Some of the bulbs never opened quite fully
They might so i'm waiting and staying awake.
Things I have loved i'm allowed to keep
I'll never know if I go to sleep.
The papers around me are piling
and twisting regina the paper back mummy
what then.
I'm taking the knife to the books that I own
and chopping and chopping and boiling soup from stone.
Things I have loved i'm allowed to keep.
I'll never know if I go to sleep.
Things I have loved i'm allowed to keep.
I'll never know if I go to sleep.

This song is a cover of Regina Spektor and I wanted to have it on this album, because it means a lot to me.
I think that everyone knows how it is to be losing something important in their life and I feel that I've lost many. This song is the second on the record, because it is just a perfect follow up to "Guardian Angel", which is about opening up to who I am and to "wake me up", "The Flowers" shows a very emotional and "soft" side of who I am. It is a basic reflection about everything that happened in my life.
