Black Roses

A Boy With Roses

In the mirror I saw an island, and in the mirror                          

I saw a soul seeker 

 

Chasing after some kind of glittering midnight                                                              

Some kind of glittering moonlight                                                                                  

Echoing through my bones like icy wind                                                                        

Some kind of dreamless memory dancing to that saxophone                                      

The sunrise burning through orange sky

 

In the mirror I saw an island, and in the mirror                                  

I saw a soul seeker 

 

Holding black roses for you, for the dreams we had                                                                

All the lies you've ever told, came back around                                                            

And I can't bite my tongue any longer, these stains won't erase                                                      

Driving fast into unknown territory 

 

In the mirror I seen the rain, and in the mirror                                                                              

I seen your true colours                                                                                                      

In a dream of you bleeding on the bathroom floor                                                        

Alone with your innocuous scars                                                                              

Healing from the darkest sickness, woven into righteous desires                                                  

Our fingers are intertwined in daydreams

 

In the mirror I saw an island, and in the mirror                

I saw a soul seeker 

 

Holding black roses for you, when the stars are aligned                                            

We are pearls in the ocean                                                                                        

Waiting at a lonely train station, with stars illuminated                    

In my mind, I just don't know who I am                      

Spiralling down this rabbit hole                                                                                                                            

Wasting myself, empty with every addiction                                                                    

Loving your decaying flesh, wiping the dust from the photographs                                            

On the shelf, a lighthouse shining a light out to sea                                                                

Drowsy morning with no sleep                                                                                

Hungover and reticent, pulling away          

Perfectly out of place, I just smile at the moon            

My only friend, an infinite boundless accident

 

In the mirror I saw an island, and in the mirror                            

I saw a soul seeker.
