Colors sitting on a portrait
Waiting to jump off the page
Into their own perfect glories
Mothers sitting in a rocking chair
Cushioning the infants of madness
Into the bosoms of hope
Bodies scattered on the battlefields
Infants were all meant to grow
Give up their hope
Colors, red is the only one we know
Waiting to jump back into
The pages of news
Well you know,
Life doesn't smell of roses
There's no time for imposing lies
Onto wandering eyes
And you've seen
Views of compassion,
But what does that even matter
To you?
And you've known
Since you could remember
About how horribly forced you were
Into seeing this world
But you know
Life isn't about flowers,
So what does that even matter
To you?
You were rushed into it
Thrown into the pit
Nobody understands you, hypocrite
With your blatant lies
And thieving cries
Forced into a world where you're
Meant to die
And you think it's the best
Secretly depressed
Hiding from others
Deceiving the rest
With your blatant lies
Your petals, your cries,
Your flowers
I find it funny how the world has to say
Take all your faithfulness and throw it away
Latch onto hopes and dreams of people before
Throw all your voice away, and walk out the door
Well you know,
Life doesn't smell of roses
There's no time for imposing lies
Onto wandering eyes
And you've seen
Views of compassion,
But what does that even matter
To you?
And you've known
Since you could remember
About how horribly forced you were
Into seeing this world
But you know
Life isn't about flowers,
So what does that even matter
To you?
You were rushed into it
Thrown into the pit
Nobody understands you, hypocrite
With your blatant lies
And thieving cries
Forced into a world where you're
Meant to die
And you think it's the best
Secretly depressed
Hiding from others
Deceiving the rest
With your blatant lies
Your petals, your cries,
Your flowers
