[Verse 1]
"Rosebud" is a dying word
A world so ugly I built my own
Like most things I never finished
It flickers and it glistens

[Pre-Chorus]
Black light gives a sense of peace
No trespassing over a man's life
So pick the petals apart now
Put them together, don't ask me how

[Chorus]
Maybe I lost a rosebud along the way
Lost a rosebud sometime today
Even after all, I told you my name
I think I lost a rosebud sometime today
I think I lost a rosebud

[Verse 2]
The days that we have seen
Are the way we should have been
Contempt is a glimpse of the past
A lifelong obsession with chance

[Pre-Chorus]
Black light gives a sense of peace
No trespassing over a man's life
So pick the petals apart now
Put them together, don't ask me how
[Chorus]
Maybe I lost a rosebud along the way
Lost a rosebud sometime today
Even after all, I told you my name
I think I lost a rosebud sometime today
I think I lost a rosebud

[Pre-Chorus]
Black light gives a sense of peace
No trespassing over a man's life
So pick the petals apart now
Put them together, don't ask me how

[Chorus]
Maybe I lost a rosebud along the way
Lost a rosebud sometime today
Even after all, I told you my name
I think I lost a rosebud sometime today
I think I lost a rosebud
