I planted roses in my chest They bloomed They bled They made a mess Thorns in my lungs Every breath a fight You told me to smile I swallowed the night But I won't suffocate No I won't stay Your hands won't shape the woman I play Burn the roses Burn them black No more petals on my back Cut the stems Let the ashes rise You can't cage me with your lies You painted halos on my skin Told me rage was the ultimate sin But my fire's older than your name And it doesn’t care about your shame No I won’t bend I won’t be still You can't tame a storm with your will Burn the roses Burn them black No more petals on my back Cut the stems Let the ashes rise You can't cage me with your lies
