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
