The Deadliest of Roses

[Verse 1]
Soft, fragrant, and composed
Oh, you were born the deadliest of roses
Wandering eyes could easily cast aside
The antidote of pride
And suckle down your poison

Still frozen in a smile
Now I find both my lungs are closing
And my heart splutters at my side
You know you could've lied and surprised me with this show

[Chorus]
Instead, I'm on my knees
With no one left to blame but the chump who believed
He stood above the game
Now I could turn to leave, but drop before thе gate
So let me bе to rest in peace

[Verse 2]
Off go blessed lights and sound
Now I'm down to well below your level
Petal scent, the only truth I know
And all I have to show for missteps of emotion

But oh, strange how you somehow grow
Much fairer as I go
No more fight
To simply flash a smile, feign a kiss goodbye, and stretch back toward the sun

[Chorus]
And now I'm on my knees
With no one left to blame but the chump who believed
He stood above the game
Now I could turn to leave, but drop before the gate
So let me be to rest in peace

[Verse 3]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh (oh)
Oh, oh

The long and winding road led through
Miles of ice and snow
'Till you, you toast me will hello
Damn you

[Chorus]
And now I'm on my knees
With no one left to blame but the chump who believed
He stood above the game
Now I could turn to leave, but drop before the gate
So let me be, to rest in peace
