Black Roses, Cherry Moon

[Verse 1] Spoken, slow: Come with me tonight and see where the black roses bloom under the cherry red moon (where the shadows remember your name) Walk past the rusted gate paint peeling off like old lies You say you’re not afraid but your fingers still find mine [Chorus] Black roses, cherry moon are you running or are you moved by the way my secrets curl like smoke around you Black roses, cherry moon every thorn is a little truth Say you’re staying till the sky fades from red to blue [Verse 2] Gravel under worn-out boots your laugh cracks the quiet air You trace hearts in the dust then wipe them like you never cared I tell you what I never tell on nights that feel this close You say you only half‑believe but you lean in, almost [Chorus] Black roses, cherry moon are you running or are you moved by the way my secrets curl like smoke around you Black roses, cherry moon every thorn is a little truth Say you’re staying till the sky fades from red to blue [Bridge] Spoken, a whisper: Come with me tonight don’t ask where the path will end Just this breath just this bend Sung: If we’re just a story let it stain, let it bruise Let the petals fall around us like they always meant to lose (oh) [Chorus] Black roses, cherry moon are you running or are you moved by the way my secrets curl like smoke around you Black roses, cherry moon every thorn is a little truth Say you’re staying till the sky fades from red to blue [Outro] Spoken: Come with me tonight and see where the black roses bloom under the cherry red moon
