Battlechain Rose

Last night I slept in the middle of the bed

Moved only inches but it was miles in my head

I hadn’t been on your side in a very long time

And the wind in your heart hadn’t blown you to mine

I am two shades of blue from a battlechain rose

I’m as blue as the sky

The night before the storm wind blows

I’m as broken and bruised as a battlechain rose

Watch my petals hit the ground, scatter in the snow

Carry me to safety battlechain rose

3 A.M. I dreamt in the middle of the bed

Of the Hemlock hanging in the garden where we wed

You smiled through the sunlight taking my hand

Then you shattered like glass

And blew away like grains of sand

I am two shades of blue from a battlechain rose

I’m as blue as the sky the night before the storm wind blows

I’m as broken and bruised as a battlechain rose

Watch my petals hit the ground, scatter in the snow

Oh won’t you carry me to safety battlechain rose?

Break of dawn I wept in the middle of the bed

The sheets so cold deception steeped the threads

Your words running like a freight train through my head

I’m looking for a way out but the only exit sign’s within

I am two shades of blue from a battlechain rose

I’m as blue as the sky the night before the storm wind blows

I’m as broken and bruised as a battlechain rose

Watch my petals hit the ground, scatter in the snow

Oh won’t you carry me to safety battlechain rose?
