The Velvet Teen
Red, Like Roses
[Verse 1]
Each night I close my eyes and wonder what will come of me in days to follow
I lay awake and after countless hours I just can't think straight
Turning, fade, pass out

[Chorus]
And in this simple way we offer to destroy all we can't figure out in our simple lives, unconscious
We employ our skills from underground to seek what we've never seen
To explore deep inside

[Verse 2]
The mornings greet me with grey days and tear-stained window sills and pillowcases
I get dressed and go to work
Bloody noses, red, like roses pose as sanctuary when I just need a minute to myself

[Chorus]
And in this simple way we offer to destroy all we can't figure out in our simple lives, unconscious
We employ our skills from underground to seek what we never seem to find
Where we never knew to explore
Deep inside

[Bridge]
Kill me, won't you?
Kill me, oh kill me
Let me sleep again
Oh kill me
Don't relate your memories
Oh Kill me
Kill me, won't you?
[Chorus]
To seek what we never seem to find
Where we never knew to go
Where we never dared to explore
Deep inside
