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
