This Rose 02:40
You can take your time I don't mind I'll just be spending every night out pacing on the yellow asphalt lines but I'll be fine 'cause I learned once you get your head straight there is something you will find there is this rose and it don't wilt it isn't picked apart by all this heavy guilt no not this rose it don't dry out it isn't withered by this heavy heavy doubt it only grows So you can take your time While I evolve my mistakes are great but so is my resolve you can take your time I know you'll see that nothing you could ever do would ever prove to me there ain't this rose... So you can take your time I'll muscle through I can tell that in between the sting my smile reaches you you see my eyes? They're free of clouds and now I'm telling you you'll never be without Not without this rose it never dies it's color can't be drained by petty petty lies no not this rose it still stands tall it isn't weakened by the pressure of it all it only grows

You've got my skin jumping off of my muscle what little I had left I can't move when you're in my way I can't ever move anyway You've got my nerves all crumpled like tin foil the only guts I had are subverted and diverted by your sweet little laugh you're the best thing that I'll never have let me break some promises to you you'll never need someone like me but can't you feel that I can't get my body to breathe I guess it could just be the oxytocin It could just be the serotonin but I feel like I could never love you half as much as I always have I guess it could just be the dopamine or some other catecholamine but I feel like I could never love you any more than I always have All my thoughts are fretfully regretful I don't know what I was thinking back then I can't move when I'm in my way I can't move when you're away You've got my brain all twisted and backward like a cat and a loose ball of yarn we've got miles both on and between us does that sound anything like a start let me break some promises to ya despite everything love's circumstantial but can't you feel that? Somehow this time must be special I guess it could just be the oxytocin... Let me break some promises to ya there's no end to this pain that we feel but can't you feel that there's something between us that's real

I turned to them for explanation but they can't say what they should say and I'd turn to God for salvation but I can't pray why would I pray. Now I turn to art for expression but it don't say what I've got to say So what do you have to say, Did you know you were broken? I turned to her for communion but it don't pay no she can't pay and she turned to me for protection what could I say? Now where do we turn for expression oh who could say what we've got to say What do you have to say, did you know you were broken? I just found out today. I turned to them for explanation but they can't say what they should say.
