Roses

You’re drowning in this purple haze
Kiss the sand and leave no trace
You are mine
But dusk remains
Demons bind you to this place
Seasons fade while willows sway
It is us that we betray
Bare your hands, don’t trust your eyes
Seven sins and seven lies
Plant you hopes, caress the gun
She said
Take my hand and run
Love is deciduous
Sepulchre of your dreams
You fight, you prey, you carry a light
You cry into the dead of night
Thorns set to be apart
Roses bloom inside your hart
Rusted statues walk you home
Thy’re beside you, they’re below
I’d rather steal your colours
Lick you dry
Keep you young
Hear you sigh
Plant you hopes, caress the gun
She said
Take my hand and run
Love is deciduous
Sepulchre of your dreams
You fight, you prey, you carry a light
You cry into the dead of night
Thorns set to be apart
Roses bloom inside your heart
Seasons fade while willows sway
It is us that we betray
Bare your hands, refuse to see
Fool the others, never me
Plant you hopes, caress the gun
She said
Take my hand and run
Love is deciduous
Sepulchre of your dreams
You fight, you prey, you carry a light
You cry into the dead of night
Thorns set to be apart
And Roses bloom inside your heart
