Our Rose Hearts

The glowing hearts of millions
Inkling away into nothing more than
Paper-thin abstract cuts
Once veiled things now shadows
Of the former things we all have been
A side to us all only left unseen
Come the day that we wake up and smell
The roses that we burn or sell
Tap into inner strengths numbed by time
The roses of our hearts will flourish again

We kill what we don't understand
We fear what we don't know
We swear by the comfortable and the seemingly safe
We revere false rewards and grandstanding lies
So much for being so fucking great

We need to erase our fear of the unknown
We need to grow out of our eternal childishness
We seem to be on the right path sometimes
We breathe for something great but can't yet grasp
It is evolution we so sorely need

The few and the far between hide and think
Truly grasping the balance of all things
When will we all stop and see
The bountiful things that we all can be
So come today when we wake up and smell
The roses that we burn or sell
Realize we're capable of great deeds
The roses of our hearts will flourish again

Where's the "great nurturer" of life?
Where's the vast rewards we recite?
Blight on the mind all these painstaking lies
We need a healthy change for all time

Come the day when we wake up and smell
The roses that we burn or sell
Tap into inner strengths numbed by time
The roses of our hearts will flourish again
Flourish again, flourish again

Our black rose hearts
Will redden once more
Flourish again, flourish again
The roses of our hearts will flourish again

Someone To Hold Me Close

Love is lost for the outcast in me
Driven aback by society
Times are telling of my dear end
An end which will leave me empty
If you bare an angel may you send?
Spare me, save me
Spare me, release me
I know not of angels
The guardians of life's gold
Or their mere presence
Nor the heavenly essence
There's just inhumanity
And unjust cruelty
If you bare an angel may you send?
Spare me, save me
Spare me, release me
I need something to light my way
Before I melt away lost in time
Spare me, save me
Spare me, release me
I need someone to hold me close
A hand I can reach to in dire times
Does my voice lend
To any privy ears
I'm a lost cause
Starving for love
Do my eyes meet
Any compassionate sight
I'm a lost soul
Starving for love
Spare me, save me
Spare me, release me
I need something to light my way
Before I melt away lost in time
Spare me, save me
Spare me, release me
I need someone to hold me close
A hand I can reach to in dire times
I've felt the pain
For way too long
Of loneliness and emptiness
Haunting my every waking days
I see you there
Can you be my vessel of love?
Can you reinvigorate me?
You may just be my goddess
If you are an angel may you send?
Spare me, save me
Spare me, release me
I need something to light my way
Before I melt away lost in time
Spare me, please save me
Spare me, please release me
I need someone to hold me close
A hand I can reach to in dire times
Your hand lights my heart
May you please never depart
'Cause you saved me
You reinvigorated me
