Blue Rose Tattoo

(álbum: Strike Gently - 2013)

With your voice so fragile
And your smile so skewed
Like the sky when its trying not to rain
No I don't imagine that you wish came true
With a kiss from a prince that you saved
When the dead bones chime in on your early morning landing

Will you see the the worlds expanding
Oh but baby, don't you cry
I can see you like you're standing back in 2002
With your makeup on your face
And the devil in your eyes
Are you still the one I knew
With the blue rose tattoo

In your rehab garden
Where the nurses all chase after you
Ain't it easy to see night from day
At your own house parties
With the drugs you used to do
When you came like the friends that you made
When your frayed lips stutter
And your stomach lining's crawling

Will you stutter towards cushion
Oh but baby, its alright
I can see you like you're frozen back in 2002
At the pay phone by your place
I've been waiting with the smile
Cause ill always think of you
With your blue rose tattoo
