Lyrics

Roses

You feed this disease

Which you shelter underneath the scars

And dream of bitter themes

Rendered helpless by those wicked charms

But please don't believe, when I say it's hard to breathe

Save me even as you break me

Every time you rape me

Leave me coming all undone

Praise me, turn your back and hate me

Every time you waste me, keep me underneath your thumb

You bleed on the sheets

Whisper softly how you love the stars

Then plead on your knees

Pledge your promises to do no harm

But please just let me be

I still find it hard to breathe

Save me even as you break me

Every time you rape me

Leave me coming all undone

Praise me, turn your back and hate me

Every time you waste me, keep me underneath your thumb

Save me even as you break me

Every time you rape me

Leave me coming all undone

Praise me, turn your back and hate me

Every time you waste me, keep me underneath your thumb

Save me, you'll turn your back and break me

Every time you rape me

Leave me coming all undone
