Roses

You feed this disease

Which you shelter underneath the scars

And dream of bitter themes

Rendered helpless by those wicked charms

But please don't believe when I say it's hard to breathe



Save me, even as you break me

Every time you rape me

Leave me coming all undone

Praise me, turn your back and hate me

Every time you waste me

Keep me underneath your thumb



You bleed on the sheets

Whisper softly how you love the stars

Then plead on your knees

Pledge your promises to do no harm

But please just let me be

I still find it hard to breathe



Save me, even as you break me

Every time you rape me

Leave me coming all undone

Praise me, turn your back and hate me

Every time you waste me

Keep me underneath your thumb...



Save me, even as you break me

Every time you rape me

Leave me coming all undone

Praise me, turn your back and hate me

Every time you waste me

Keep me underneath your thumb

Save me, don't turn your back and break me

Every time you rape me

Leave me coming all undone
