Poets of the Fall - Roses(2011)

[00:10.00] I've walked the distance
[00:11.46] I paid my dues and I tried to have a go at what I thought
[00:15.01] I knew was real, held no appeal
[00:19.77] I've been to places, I've seen the tidings
[00:22.53] I bought a book of rules for every coin that I could steal
[00:28.98] And so I came to gaze upon the stars, when they were yet unborn
[00:38.41] And consequently, tear at my old scars, and the mask I had outworn
[00:47.84] So when I'm crying alone
[00:53.02] Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone
[00:57.81] Grow me a garden of roses
[01:02.66] Paint me the colors of sky and rain
[01:07.56] Teach me to speak with their voices
[01:12.15] Show me the way and I'll try again
[01:18.96]
[01:26.11] I've heard the rumors, started fires
[01:28.87] I sowed a sordid lot of plays for keeps for what I need
[01:33.42] Behold the demons that I freed
[01:35.99] I've tried my best at wearing the hard hat
[01:38.63] But healing doesn't seem to happen when you hide away the seed
[01:43.72] And so I came across the medicine man, and he showed me what I'd forlorn
[01:54.17] For if I'm stayed it happens by my own hand, and my own voice full of scorn
[02:04.19] So when I'm crying alone
[02:08.90] Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone
[02:13.71] Grow me a garden of roses
[02:18.63] Paint me the colors of sky and rain
[02:23.43] Teach me to speak with their voices
[02:28.10] Show me the way and I'll try again
[02:33.29] Without you I'm nothing at all
[02:37.67] And life has the face of a morbid game
[02:42.76] With you nothing is impossible
[02:46.74] It all seems to fit the frame
[02:53.41] So when I'm crying alone
[02:58.97] Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone
[03:03.71] Grow me a garden of roses
[03:08.62] Paint me the colors of sky and rain
[03:13.34] Teach me to speak with their voices
[03:18.04] Show me the way and I'll try again
[03:25.51]
