Samhradh - Wilting Rose Lyrics

If I could love a rose in the garden
If I could turn a blind eye to my darkness

I wouldn't be so lost
But it's all for nothing

'Cause I'm trapped by the thorns
Back where I started

Peace is hard to find
You're lucky if you find it

Mesmerised by dry eyes
And yet you're always crying

You're caught up in the moment
Losing your mind
Where the petals have fallen

Time waster take it slow
You'll ruin your life
Age like a wilting rose

I wanna die young but I need time
To fill your head with lies

Gotta convince you I'm fine
I intend to survive

Drown in my sorrow
All good things come to an end
Can't count the empty vases
I've drawn my last breath
For you
I saved the roots so they might grow
Do the thorns pierce your skin and show
Red roses: a synonym of life's decay
Filled myself with poison
Hope that's okay

'Cause life
Means nothing

Pain that I harbour
It weighs me down
You don't seem to worry
Wear your scars like a crown
I've got too much pride
This is a sacrifice
Red roses they place at the grave
Filled myself with poison
Hope that's okay

'Cause life
Means nothing

Oh I tried so hard to treat each moment
Like it means something to me

I tried too hard
Now the smile never leaves

Behind closed doors
I can be ignored

I won't face my fears
No one will know I'm here
Trust me, for once
You won't find me

If I could pick a rose from the garden
If life wasn't tragic, so disheartening

I could be less focused
Be triumphant
'Cause there's tomorrow
Wake up and confront it

Peace is hard to find
You're lucky if you find it

Mesmerised by dry eyes
And yet you're always crying

You're caught up in the moment
Losing your mind
Where the petals have fallen

Time waster take it slow
You'll ruin your life
Age like a wilting rose
