Thorns Lyrics

Missed calls on a winter's eve

From a number you don't know

Blue sirens will flood the streets

You're a danger to yourself

I'm terrified of losing time

I search for safety in your smile

But its hard to find when all you know

is spiraling out of control

I remember you once told

"only rain makes saplings grow"

But I'm falling down

I'm letting go

You're not yourself and I know you don't notice

Why do I still blame myself

Buried in thorns but I don't see any roses

Is it too late for help

You're not yourself and I know you don't notice

How much I still blame myself

Buried in thorns but I don't see any

When the windows whisper words in your sleep

And the silhouettes take shape in the trees

When the knocks on your door leave you no relief

All the friends you had turned to enemies

I had to turn my back as well

Run for cover, run from hell

I blamed myself for far too long

Now it's been years since you've been gone

You're not yourself and I know you don't notice

Why do I still blame myself

Buried in thorns but I don't see any roses

Is it too late for help

I built a home and I found comfort

In a space of joy and love

I had to grow up way too young for

all the ugly sides of life

When I think back to when I saw you

All I think of are your eyes

How they looked nothing like they used to

And how your mouth was filled with lies

You in a hospital bed

The room felt minus 10 degree

Give me an answer

tell me, mother, can't you see?

I look at you but you're a stranger to me

This home was built on violence

Now the ruins are your grave

Forever lost alone in silence

Rot and decay
