lyrics

I have seen
red roses burst
Into petals of flame
That set your paper heart
alight again

Wrinkles crowd
your paper cut eyes
Your vacant stare
disappears like the sunlight
And on my fingers
still lie your salty tears

Your eyes betray the fact
that you still love the one who killed you
Your fingers speak of a fragile bone missing, lost,
broke or stolen

I'm not He
I am not Him
I'm just a bad reflection
Of the man
that you wanted me to be

The hate you hold so close to you heart
And all its past convictions
Needs the mirror and needs the sand
like a pearl needs the friction
To take it out, to put it in, to cancel doubt

I have seen
red roses burst
Into petals of flame
That set
your paper heart
alight again
