Thanks to Christian Korbanka for this one, his tab was useful for the guitar solo and

If you gave me a fresh carnation, I would only crush it's tender petals,

I trample down all life in my wake, I eat it up and take the cake,

I just avert my eyes to the pain, of someone's loss helping my gain.

I am out of season all year round, hear machinery roar to my empty sound,

Because I am the greed and fear, and every ounce of hate in you.
