A Thousand Roses
I was a lady with her curls,
Float above the world
Flowers would rain down on me,
But I never thought about the worth
Never questioned since my birth
Until a thousand roses were my life,
A thousand roses left and right.
A thousand roses all tied up
A thousand roses left for dead.
Ruined purity, forced maturity
Roses, replaceable,
Thoughts untraceable
Roses are taken for granted,
Like the perfect lips or stomach unslanted
Hey, I said no!
Please, let me go.
We lay in wait, pray for the day
We wish naught to be with you,
Wish naught for something borrowed, something blue
We're not here for your pleasure, darling
A thousand roses strung in a garland.
Armed and charming,
Watch your hearts,
It's time to pay you back;
It's time to even the charts.
A thousand dandelions with broken souls
A thousand dandelions with shattered goals.
A thousand roses will not be crushed
Get on our bad side and you'll get as much.
