Roses are red
My friends are dead
Violets are blue
I am too
-
Lilies are yellow
He was a good fellow
Tulips are pink
Their blood stains like ink
-
What you don't know
Is that I'm still alive
Although empty inside
I refuse to hide
-
What you don't see
What you never learned
Is that this isn't about me
Or the trust I never earned
-
It's not about the past
Doesn't matter if this will last
Screw the strangers we surpassed
Cause we're all souls of the outcast
-
Who cares about the present
That only brings us torture
Burning through skin like scorchers
Forgetting to try and nurture
-
And why hold onto the future
Just cause it's all we have left
Cause you never picked up the theft
Throughout all of your bereft
-
There's no point asking why
Cause nothing matters at all
There's nothing that'll make me fall
Why throw your fist at a wall
-
But then again why not
Why not live just for the fuck of it
Mess with people and get shot
Then take their veins and start to knit
-
I have absolutely nothing
So you can't take shit away
There's nothing you can say
That'll make me wanna stay
-
What you'll never get
Is that every step I take inflicts pain
So why should I forget
When I can swim in pools of acid rain
-
But roses aren't red, they're black
My friends are insomniacs
They were never really dead
Roses are never red
-
You can't die if you were never living
So the reason I live at all
Is so that I can feel the fall
As my stack of cares grows oh so tall
-
By tall I mean 2 things
Names to be precise
And I can't tell if I really care
Or if I'm just being nice
-
If roses aren't red
My friends aren't dead
My heart isn't lead
Forget all I've said
-
My heart was never there
Just like the scars I wear
Tell my why I'm not scared
Tell me why I'm so prepared
-
I know I'm gonna die
I may as well keep up my lie
I know my hellhound will soon fly
I know my rose will always cry
