Lyrics The Deadliest of Roses - Drew Sarich

Soft, fragrant and composed
Oh, you were born
The deadliest of roses
Wandering eyes could easily cast aside
The antidote of pride
And suckle down your poison
Still frozen in a smile
Now I find both my lungs are closing
And my heart splutters at my side
You know you could have lied
And surprised me with this show
Instead, I'm on my knees
With no one left to blame
But the chump who believed
He stood above the game
Now I could turn to leave but drop before the gate
So let me be, to rest in peace
Off go blessed lights and sound!
Now I'm down to well below your level
Petal scent, the only truth I know
And all I have to show for missteps of emotion
But oh, strange how you somehow grow
Much fairer as I go
No more fights
You simply flash a smile
Feign a kiss goodbye
And stretch back toward the sun
And now I'm on my knees
With no one left to blame
But the chump who believed
He stood above the game
Now I could turn to leave
But drop before the gate
So let me be
To rest in peace
The long and winding road
Led through miles of ice and snow
Till you dosed me with, "Hello!"
Damn you...
And now I'm on my knees
With no one left to blame
But the chump who believed
He stood above the game
Now I could turn to leave
But drop before the gate
So let me be
To rest in peace
