Red Like Roses

each night i close my eyes and wonder what will come of me in days to follow

i lay awake and after countless hours, i just can't think straight

turn in, fade, pass out

yet, in this simple way, we offer

to destroy all we can't figure out

in our simple lives, unconscious

we employ our skills from underground

to seek what we've never seen

to explore, deep inside

the mornings greet me with grey days and tear-stained windowsills and pillowcases

i get dressed and go to work

bloody noses, red like roses pose as sanctuary

when i just need a minute to myself

and in this simple way, we offer

to destroy all we can't figure out

in our simple lives, unconscious

we employ our skills from underground

to seek what we've never seen

to find, where we never knew

to explore deep, inside

kill me, won't you kill me

kill me

let me sleep again

kill me

don't relate your memories

kill me

kill me won't you

to see

what we've never seen to find

where we never knew to go

where we never dared to explore

deep...
