# Black Rose, Gray Skies
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**[Intro]**\
|
||
|
|
Black rose, thorns sharp and trapped inside a clear vessel\
|
||
|
|
Petals falling, won't you please come and save this wilting weed\
|
||
|
|
Slower still, it's a tragic, but slow death inside the glass cage\
|
||
|
|
Seasons change, nights fade and dissipate into similar shades of gray
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**[Chorus]**\
|
||
|
|
*On the windowsill, perched and perfectly still*\
|
||
|
|
*I can see the brightest stars in the sky*\
|
||
|
|
*Yes, the wind is still, make a wish, if you will*\
|
||
|
|
*And I will too in hopes that time goes by*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**[Verse 1]**\
|
||
|
|
*This is*\
|
||
|
|
*Not a cry for help, I don't need my princess Belle*\
|
||
|
|
*I just want to truly be set free*\
|
||
|
|
*I am*\
|
||
|
|
*Trapped in this case, though it's safe, I'm afraid*\
|
||
|
|
*Will I be the rose I see inside?*\
|
||
|
|
*You can*\
|
||
|
|
*Find me up here, perched and perfectly still*\
|
||
|
|
*Kicked my feet and staring up so high*\
|
||
|
|
*Black rose*\
|
||
|
|
*Prick me again, make me bleed, little friend*\
|
||
|
|
*Oh, if only I weren't in my mind*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**[Chorus]**\
|
||
|
|
*On the windowsill, perched and perfectly still*\
|
||
|
|
*I can see the brightest stars in the sky*\
|
||
|
|
*Yes, the wind is still, make a wish, if you will*\
|
||
|
|
*And I will too in hopes that time goes by*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**[Verse 2]**\
|
||
|
|
*I don't*\
|
||
|
|
*Want to be afraid, there's much progress I have made*\
|
||
|
|
*And I'm only getting further, still*\
|
||
|
|
*I am*\
|
||
|
|
*Trapped inside my cage, don't see a way I can escape*\
|
||
|
|
*A cognitive prison, against my will*\
|
||
|
|
*Looking down*\
|
||
|
|
*Will never help, I see my death, my biggest doubts*\
|
||
|
|
*A fall that's deep enough that it would kill*\
|
||
|
|
*So I*\
|
||
|
|
*Keep my head held high, looking up into the sky*\
|
||
|
|
*As the petals wilt onto the 'sill*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**[Chorus]**\
|
||
|
|
*On the windowsill, perched and perfectly still*\
|
||
|
|
*I can see the brightest stars in the sky*\
|
||
|
|
*Yes, the wind is still, make a wish, if you will*\
|
||
|
|
*And I will too in hopes that time goes by*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**[Epilogue]**\
|
||
|
|
I look down at the black rose, the vessel is as glossy and beautiful as the treasure it contains\
|
||
|
|
The stars in the sky look down at me and smile, and I can feel their warm glow from here\
|
||
|
|
If I could be that rose, take it outside its cell and transfuse its radiant beauty\
|
||
|
|
I am a dreamer in the hopes that one day the vessel shatters and I too will be set free\
|
||
|
|
A rose like no other, with thorns trimmed, and petals full as it blooms in the new morning Sun
