Roses

Lay me down In a bed of roses End my pain Envelope me in thorns Lay me down In a bed of roses End my pain Envelope me in thorns I was falling Tumbling down the rabbit hole Now I'm crawling Back up to fall down again Cover me in bruises Dig your nails into my skin So lovely and abusive This pain is my heroin So lovely and abusive This pain is my heroin So lovely, so lovely Lay me down In a bed of roses End my pain Envelope me in thorns Lay me down In a bed of roses End my pain Envelope me in thorns You leave me vacant Devoid of emotion So complacent In our loving devotion Such a fragile tether You've wrapped around my neck Pull the chain tighter Willing release of my final breath Pull the chain tighter Willing release of my final breath Pull it tighter and tighter Lay me down In a bed of roses End my pain Envelope me in thorns Lay me down In a bed of roses End my pain Envelope me in thorns Longing for something less hateful I'm gratefully bound by your chains Ours is an imperfect fable I'm longing to tell it again Lay me down In a bed of roses End my pain Envelope me in thorns Lay me down In a bed of roses End my pain Envelope me in thorns
