Satans Smile

Precious rose take this life from me 
It’s getting lovely and I can’t use it anymore 
White roses and I’d smile if happiness got any closer 
I’ve bared my arms and I don’t know what for 
Memories dangle from gazing posters 
And I don’t know how much longer 
I can pleasure this holster 
I’m grasping for Satan’s place 
I got my head down, walking toward Satan’s face 
Tiptoeing just above the sun 
Fingertips just below these stars singing and praises 
I left my life outside that bar 
Struck me down 
In return for my every blasphemous sound 
I miss you my friend and I can’t take it 
My abuse grant’s me peace 
Take this needle and sooth my misery at least 
I’m grasping for Satan’s place
