White Roses.

A sugar coated skull
Crooked tooth smile
Nature's coy disguise
To the malady
To the horrors
These hollow eyes 
Could never hide

How many fights?
Too many nights

Hiding behind the wool
Dodging horns of the bull
Living life on a pedestal
The dunce, the fool

Too many nights,
Not enough life

To keep up this dance
On egg shells and thorns
Keep the audience entranced
One step ahead of the horns

One step in the grave
Lost in the red waves

Now gods decide
Among grieving sighs
Echoing with sorrows
Forgive the fallacy
Petals in the eyes
Final denial
Roses in the skull
