Fields of Roses

You wanted fields of roses,

someone to hold you through the night;

held love up on a pedestal

while your hopes were out of sight.

You did anything to have it,

wanting so much more;

spread yourself around

like a dirty, filthy whore.

Well you've gotten what you wanted,

sold your soul to pay the cost.

Are you happy with the outcome?

Do you see what you have lost?

You always thought that you would know,

every princess has a prince,

but he left you there to rot

and you haven't seen him since.

Is this what you wanted? To walk on your own grave?

Well you dance a pretty jig in your bitterness and hate.

These people all around you are disgusting little liars

but you bite at every morsel while they feed you to the fires.

Now you're tearing down the castles,

and everything they brought

that reminds you of forgiveness;

of your happy ever not.

Mutilate the stars,

burn the roses as they drip

with the blood from your own hands

when you clenched your fist to grip.

You're burying the stories

that promised happy ends

but they left your wounds wide open

and they choked you with pretends.

The smoke is quickly thickening

so now you're fighting off the tears.

You're dreams are slowly dying

and your screams don't fall on ears.

Is this what you wanted? To walk on your own grave?

Well you dance a pretty jig in your bitterness and hate.

These people all around you are disgusting little liars

but you bite at every morsel while they feed you to the fires.
