roses (misery)

(album: The Body Is Not Good - 2023)

And love will take you down
When it follows you around

You ought to sing to the birds
And tell them every word

You ought to end me now
Another ember in the pile

You don't remember the sound
Of my clothes on the ground

Love is a part in the mouth
And you are nowhere to be found

I'm fading
'Cause misery is like a garden
Where you can't finish what you started
My walls are roses in a row
My walls are roses in a row
My walls are roses in a row
My walls are roses in a row

You tell me now

Your eyes sing to the birds

You don't remember the sound
Can you even hear me now?
Can you even hear me now?

I'm fading
'Cause misery is like a garden
Where you can't finish what you started
My walls are roses in a row
My walls are roses in a row
My walls are roses in a row

My walls are roses in a row
My walls are roses in a row
My walls are roses in a row

You don't remember the sound
Can you even hear me now?
Can you even hear me now?

I'm fading
'Cause misery is like a garden
My walls are roses in a row
