ROSES Lyrics

She is a Lilith and a temptress

She only wants me in distress

Squeeze my heart I feel it compress

Flaunt your body I am not impressed

Don't believe a word from her tongue

I have learned it is just a loaded gun

I am trapped with no where to run

I had given in she had won

Wonder what she'd think of me now

That I'm not homeless and so down

Becoming a king with scarred crown

And the fact I escaped that town

Found an antidote to the toxic

I thought the effects were chronic

Rodents and roaches was hopeless

Hypnotized I couldn't focus

Coldness, coldness, left the coldness

Opus, opus, I found opus

Pleaded and bled to be noticed

Pleaded and bled at my lowest

Now I'll receive my due roses

Watch as the door to hell closes

The stars align like cosmic

City of angels, cathartic

God has been good now and always

Even with all of my faulted ways

Even as I number my days

I'll still give him all of my praise

Forgive her for breaking me down

Meant to make my bloodline renown

Not to live in this flesh just to drown

Rodents and roaches was hopeless

Hypnotized I couldn't focus

Coldness, coldness, left the coldness

Opus, opus, I found opus

Pleaded and bled to be noticed

Pleaded and bled at my lowest

Now I'll receive my due roses

Watch as the door to hell closes
