A Red Rose

You're a red rose in a garden of lilies One of a kind The love of my life You're a red rose in a garden of daisies A vision in light Come back to life just for me Picture me in a 1950s wedding gown Carry me through the door But I fall to the floor And I smile cause your laugh makes me so happy What were those problems I was having before Mechanical flesh feels so warm Like a perfect sentient life form And I love how goddamn real Holding you feels You're a red rose in a garden of lilies One of a kind The love of my life You're a red rose in a garden of daisies A vision in light Come back to life just for me For me Picture us as our world comes into color The black and white days Have faded away And the family we've created Perfect and gifted And you're here to stay And I know I'm hearing voices Telling me that I've made awful choices But I love how goddamn real Loving you feels You're a red rose in a garden of lilies One of a kind The last man in my life You're a red rose in a garden of daisies A vision in light Staying alive just for me For me All of this is real All of this is right All of this is real All of this is right All of this is real All of this is right All of this is real All of this is real Bloody morning of blue consequences The battle wasn't won And your life is done It's a problem of past and present tenses Ahead of my time I retreat to my mind
