Roses

Would you rather that I just fade away? Jailed up, straightjacket until my grave I'm fine, I'm alive Your eyes keep my head clamped to the wall Stand by take blame, on the waterboard Swallow pride, just smile

So tell me, how does it feel? You get roses, I plant the seeds So tell me, how does it feel? You get roses, I plant the seeds

Today's the day I promise I'm gonna change Asked for help and I'm handed a razor blade Don't ask why, that's life Fear of failure got my fingers in the mail Ones and zeroes, cash money, I'm a fire sale Hold tight to the ride

So tell me, how does it feel? You get roses, I plant the seeds So tell me, how does it feel? You get roses, I plant the seeds

It's hard to believe That I plant the seeds Tonight I'll set myself free

Try and walk a mile in my shoes Three steps forward and I guarantee you'll be confused The curtain closes, I have imploded I plant the seeds so they can smell the roses

I need love, I need affection I need a clear sense of direction I need love, I need affection I need a clear sense of direction

So tell me, how does it feel? You get roses, I plant the seeds So tell me, how does it feel? You get roses, I plant the seeds

I need love, I need affection I need love, I need affection I need love, I need affection I need a clear sense of direction
