about

Lyrics by Bede Taylor.
Arrangement by Aaron Carpenter.

lyrics

I have seen red roses burst
Into petals of flame
That set your paper heart alight again

Wrinkles crowd your paper cut eyes
Your vacant stare disappears like the sunlight
And on my fingers still lie your salty tears

Your eyes betray the fact that you still love the one who killed you
Your fingers speak of a fragile bone missing, lost, broke or stolen

I'm not He I am not Him
I'm just a bad reflection
Of the man that you wanted me to be

The hate you hold so close to you heart
And all its past convictions
Needs the mirror and needs the sand like a pearl needs the friction
To take it out, to put it in, to cancel doubt


I have seen red roses burst
Into petals of flame
That set your paper heart alight again
