be this for me
someone else
someone I trust in my room
lay on the floor
memories weigh you down
heroes gone home
saviour stranger
playing dress-up in the armoury
what I’m trying on never suited me
if I time it right
you might never even notice
take a trip and tumble to the ground
always hurt the ones you love
forever asking
where are the roses
worship your ground
lift me up
learn from my fears
my A+
took to the wheels
learned the language well
recite silence
raise your fists
ignorance is not the remedy
but administered to me daily
now the side-effect is the normality I’m under
take a trip inside the looking-glass
if the role reversed would you still be asking
where are the roses
