Thorns Lyrics

Thorns

Well there's this song that I've been trying not to write

I hear the music when I'm heading for the light

It keeps pm running through the sewers in my head

Then I wake up at night to prove that I'm not dead

It's like a face that I can't look at in the mirror

That laughs at me as if I wasn't here

I close my eyes and ears get on my knees and pray

But the images refuse to fade away

Well the bloom is off the rose

There's a winter wind a blowing

I've got frostbite on my nose and it might as well be snowing

Well the summer sun has set

She won't be back tomorrow morn

The bloom is off the rose and I only see a thorn

Yeah the bloom is off the rose and all I see are thorns

Well there's this thought that I've been trying not to think

And it strikes me while I'm waiting for my drink

Like a blood clot it won't pass on through my heart

It's stuck in the place where feelings just won't start

It's like a nightmare that won't let me fall asleep

Or a tear exhausted eyes refuse to weep

I cannot find a spark to breed a fire

And I fear my license for to love you has expired

Well the bloom is off the rose

There's a winter wind a blowing

I've got frostbite on my nose and it might as well be snowing

Well the summer sun has set

She won't be back tomorrow morn

The bloom is off the rose and I only see a thorn

Yeah the bloom is off the rose and all I see are thorns

Well the bloom is off the rose. There's no poetry or violence

I see the curtain start to close, upon the audience in silence

All the trees have lost their leaves and their will to live and breathe

Well the bloom is off the rose. Heartache tugging at my sleeve.

Yeah the bloom is of the rose

Is it time for me to leave

Well there's this song that I've been trying not to sing
