A Boy With Roses

Cut the Roots

Interwoven between sadness and hope                                           

I think of the bluebells by the lake                                               

When the sky grows dark and I\'m alone                                         

With no levee, I close my eyes and drift off  

                                             

In a painting I see a vision of you                                                                               

Listening to the piano and smoking a cigarette                                             

I watch as the waves wash ashore                                       

And I regret never reaching out to hear your voice                       

Now I\'ll never know the way you felt 

 

How it feels to be alive                                                               

How it feels to be alive 

 

Everywhere I go I see you, I remember you                                   

In my childhood bedroom                                                                 

I miss you more than you would ever know                                     

I fucking hate that coffee shop                                               

Where I cried and you wrote, \"I love you\"                               

And everything was stagnant                                                     

And we had nothing much to celebrate                         

And I never know how to quit my bad habits                                     

So I always self-destruct.
