In the silence of a thunderstorm
An extra rose on my pillow of fears
For when I try to fall asleep
To pierce my head when I bury me
In layers of my vanity
No, you never tried to warn me
The storm and rain will fall on me
And I'll be in love with your eyes' beauty
Till the iris fades into the sea
So take from me my scary dreams
But never leave with a pact of peace
You'd promised me that thorns would wilt
But secrets like that you wouldn't spill
Unless you thought that I would kill
The rose that made me ill
The rose you gave me
The rose I hate cause it's in love with me
But you'd never stay to scorn me
Or warn me of the plights of love
And thus I will forget my pleas
And drown with the sea
This flooded sea that pounds the shore
With a beat that kisses my stolid core
And flirts with thoughts of drowning more
So I stand and stare off cliffs so hollow
And wonder if the water's shallow
On my head still, the crown of thorns
Twixt pain and death I'm always torn
But I know that you wouldn't mourn
Your eyes would darken like a storm
The iris gone behind the sea
Eyes are dark that used to see
Cause you never tried to warn me
The thunderstorm was right above
And with your eyes I'm still in love
Though the iris sinks into the sea
And I drown myself to chase beauty
And drown on down into the sea
