[Intro] [Verse] Was it a midnight hour...? The world basked in crimson bloom... The vines... oh, the vines... tangled in the stars when the whisper came from nowhere... “Here lies your spark...” And I... oh, I... bend my head toward the ground... Withered petals brush against my feet. [Pre-Chorus] ...come closer... ...come closer... let the thorns find you... and I will let you... see~ [Chorus] Pick one of the roses, let it kiss your finger with one of her thorns. Let the blood trickle and see what will be born. Between reddish petals is a secret to take. Let roses scratch your skin, it's a gift yours to keep. [Post-Chorus] You came looking for inspiration... You don't get to choose what inspires you. [Verse 2] I watched the neverending bloom, in my veins I felt only a nervous thrum. The roses... oh, the roses... tangled in the vines when the whisper came from nowhere... “Come, take your shard...” And I... oh, I... reached my hand toward the flower, fresh petals silky against my skin. [Pre-Chorus] ...bleed for me... ...bleed for me... and I will let you... see~ [Chorus] Pick one of the roses, let it kiss your finger with one of her thorns. Let the blood trickle and see what will be born. Between reddish petals is a secret to take. Let roses scratch your skin, it's a gift yours to keep. [Post-Chorus] You came looking for inspiration... You don't get to choose what inspires you. [Bridge] A thought that sets your mind ablaze, a dream that keeps you in a haze, a wound that never lets you sleep, a secret you wish you couldn't keep. A love... a rage... a memory... a mistake... Take it and hold it to the light... What you make of what you get... is yours to decide. [Chorus] Pick one of the roses, let it kiss your finger with one of her thorns. Let the blood trickle and see what will be born. Between reddish petals is a secret to take. Let roses scratch your skin, it's a gift yours to keep. [Outro] You came looking for inspiration... You don't get to choose what inspires you.
