Rose for a Heart Lyrics

I've been walking

I've been slinking along so long

Where is the ending

And is there meaning to it all

I drop petals along with echoes

To call me back to where I've been

I rest a while at the crashing

And let the water touch my feet

Falling slowly and then pouring through my hands

I sit sipping on the salt air

Memories grainy as the sand

With a rose for a heart

I've been walking

I've been trudging along too long

My legs are howling

Arches burning and soles torn

The footsteps in the background

Moving forward within the scene

Eyes in the front, a trait evolved in preying beasts

Apparently

Falling slowly and then dropping at my feet

I shed skin in shapes of petals

And whistle dixie as I gleam

Heat flows through me and then

Goes flooding down the street

I bat my eyes at passers by

And don't dare to bare my teeth

With a rose for a heart
