Briar Rose

Rose, Briar Rose Why you look so sad, I don't know Did you prick your thumb? Did You skin your knee Running down the stairs looking for me? Everything’s on fire and everyone’s asleep And they’re burning wheels at the king’s feet You, where’d you go? Who you running from? Everyone loves a sleeping beauty On the stage or on the screen So you take it like a man, do what you can While you can try not to scream Your daddy, he came upstairs to tuck you in Why’d you look so scared? Where’s the queen? Your mother, dear She’s in the next room over Finger in her ears She doesn’t want to hear She thinks you’re a liar So you light a match and you cast Your spell and you start the fire Then you try to run, but you don’t get far You’re gonna lie for a century Dreaming in the dark Everyone loves a sleeping beauty On the stage or on the screen So you take it like a man, do what you can While you can try not to scream Someday I’ll come looking for you Through the roses and the thorns I’ll come crawling through it all It might take a hundred years But I’ll be here when the smoke clears To tear down the wall Everyone loves a sleeping beauty The northern lights are out tonight Aurora, can you hear me? I know you’re weary If you open up your eyes, you’ll be alright
