Dead Rose Lyrics by Down Again

The Devil Is a Gentleman

2020

[Intro]
Dead rose stuck in the winter
All my leaves have turned to dust on the floor
A bed of thorns is all that's left
Don't get too close
Don't get too close

[Verse 1]
Once alive, so vibrant red
I hid my thorns and only let them tear at my head
But in the end, I knew I'd end like this
I never liked the color red to begin with
And I am here by choice
And I, I like the cold

[Chorus]
Every now and then I argue with myself
And hе always wins
I grab a shovel, started digging my own grave
So I can bury him
But I can only keep him undеr for so long
Until he finds his way out and pull me into the dark
Cause he's the man who's raging war inside my head
And I'm scare he'll win

[Verse 2]
For the first time, in a long time
I saw the sun in the sky it caught me by surprise
I tried to close my eyes
I tried to hide my face
But she swept me up in her embrace
She, she is the summer
And she, she brings me back to life
When I, I embrace the winter
She, she embraces me

[Chorus]
Every now and then I argue with myself
And he always wins
I grab a shovel, started digging my own grave
So I can bury him
But I can only keep him under for so long
Until he finds his way out and pull me into the dark
Cause he's the man who's raging war inside my head
And I'm scare he'll win

[Bridge]
I've been down all these roads, they end up in the same place
It's another cold winter I can't escape
An just when I, open my eyes
An just when I, embrace the night
She moves away the clouds and shows me her light
She, she is the summer brings this rose back to life
And I'm afraid
And I'm afraid

[Verse 3]
And I can't help but fuck up
Give me some time and I will mess this up
I've ruined everything I've ever touched
It's happened once it happens all too much
There isn't anything good in me
A selfish man who's weak at the knees
How could there be so much good in her
How could there be so much good
I've been down all these roads, they end up in the same place
It's another cold winter I can't escape
And in the end I still have these thorns
In the end I'm tearing at the hands that try to hold me
Cause season come and go how long before the summers over
The nights are getting cold I think the winter's getting closer
And I'm afraid
And I'm afraid
