[Verse 1] 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 [Prechorus] But I won't suffocate No I won't stay Your hands won't shape the woman I play [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] You painted halos on my skin Told me rage was the ultimate sin But my fire's older than your name And it won't bow to your little game [Prechorus] I won't suffocate No I won't stay Your hands won't sculpt the words I say [Chorus] 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
