Roses and Daggers

A slight gust of anger

Awakes me from sleep

The vitals are anchors

The heartbeat is deep

She sits up and asks me

If it's the same dream

Let's go back to bed

And forget the whole thing

Roses and daggers

They make for nice friends

Stumble or stagger

And they'll chop off your head

Roses and daggers

And all that's between

Love notes and letters

The noise that's unseen

As you smile for the camera

Still run for your life

Look at the damage

Or laugh at its crimes

Kind of important

But mostly forgot

Firstly the motion

And second the shot

Roses and daggers

They make for nice friends

Stumble or stagger

And they'll chop off your head

Roses and daggers

And all that's between

Love notes and letters

The noise that's unseen

Time ticks along, the days turn to night

The clouds in the sky, they all float out of sight

And one day

It'll all be alright

And one day, I say

It'll all be okay

Cuz roses are red

And the daggers are gray

But when you look upon them

The colors all change

And one day

It'll all look the same

And one day

It'll all fade away

Cuz roses and daggers

Make for nice friends

Stumble or stagger

And they'll chop off your head

Roses and daggers

And all that's between

Love notes and letters

The noise that's unseen
