Black Rose

verse 1:
the memories, are becoming more haunting,
what i see, is not what i'm wanting
your shallow soul, can't carry my burden,
my complex heart, is getting ready to turn in

into a hole, so black that its blinding, 
apoisoned kiss is what you'll be finding
as cold as ice, the heart that you carry,
and its my soul that you've been dying to bury

chorus:
my shattered life is burning in my brain,
and all this strife, has been driving me insane

try to turn back, back to happy
i'll tell you, i won't be laughing
covered in, this dark dispair
to even think, you might have once cared
so your smile, i won't even miss
just concealed, in the pain of my darkness
now i'm upset, i should have known it from the start, 
that you were bound to break and ruin my dying heart

verse 2:
take yesterday, and put it in a black rose
to show it's dead, make those doors opened now close
that fire burning, is now a one of hatred
theres no more love, even though it might have once lived

bridge:
you were my light
now your my shadow
your broken lies 
are what has followed
the hurts forever 
leaving black scars
you thought i'd never
find out who you are
your demented games
have left me bruised
didn't miss your aim
my heart abused
this hallow life
is what you chose
your promise empty 
my soul a black rose
