Rose Blossoms Lyrics

How many times have our heroes turned to ghosts

While our monsters were just broken down sedans

On the side of a city street, they only need gas and some hope

To get back on the road while the ghosts have all fled

The rose blossoms have left my eyes

Our icons have all gone and calcified

You tried to eat me on primetime TV

Truth be told, I'd be much sweeter if you weren't so bitter, bitter in my eyes

How many times have we praised backstabbers in black tie

How many of our neighbors have been opened wide

Cracked open to use all the treasure found inside

Splayed for the world at the hands of those we idolize

The rose blossoms have left my eyes

Our icons have all gone and calcified

You tried to eat me on primetime TV

Truth be told, I'd be much sweeter if you weren't so bitter, bitter in my eyes

I can't seem to wash this bitter taste out my mouth

I might resort to cutting my own tongue out

God forbid I find a sturdy rock to stand upon

To take the place of the flowers I used to dream of

The rose blossoms have left my eyes

Our icons have all gone and calcified

You tried to eat me on primetime TV

Truth be told, I'd be much sweeter if you weren't so bitter, bitter in my eyes
