The Rose Lyrics - Fades Away

I am a fiend 

I am hypocrisy 

I am the lust 

I'm not to trust 

Hiding myself from me 

The definition of disease 

I pricked my finger on the rose 

Held up my hand to see the hole 

And watched the poison slowly take control 

Just a little sip, a little taste, a little more 

Suck the bottle dry 

Abandon myself tonight 

Strap on the mask 

Bathe in the broken glass 

Try not to fuss 

It won't hurt much 

Just close your eyes you'll see 

Annihilation 

Time to feed 

How did I fall so far from your warm embrace 

I let the virus take my place 

If there's a thread of my left inside my veins 

Oh God, don't let it be erased 

I pricked my finger on the rose 

I grabbed the thorns 

And squeezed right down to the bone
