Rose -

Wait, I’ll do myself in to avoid the fight.

Breaking your back to turn off every light.

We snuffed them out,

To learn to live without,

Am I a little bit scared that you won’t know what I mean?

I’ve been kicking at the dirt so we can make this place look clean.

Don’t you see, what I’m turning into?

Decaying, and rotting ambiguity

And the warmth of the sun, and the click of your gun,

Are the two things deep rooted in me.

You couldn’t hear it through the thick of debris,

Give up on love because you gotta be free,

Bite on your lip so you can learn to taste blood

You don’t need what you don’t see.

Wait, till 7: 30 when the sun times out,

So I can tell you, I can tell you bout,

The things I hid, I never really did,

Know quite what you knew,

When we were walking down 8th Avenue,

I’m only dirty when my minds made up,

I’m only blurry when my bloods cleared up.

You couldn’t hear it through the thick of debris,

Give up on love because you gotta be free,

Bite on your lip so you can learn to taste blood

You don’t need what you don’t see.
