"The Roses" lyrics

"The Roses"

Every second
Every minute I atone
Peel back my skin
Until you reach the bone
She's my angel and my devil both
Blood red
Blood red the roses grow

It's no secret that she owns me
Don't think that I will ever be free, be free
I'm a puppet in my body
Pulled strings, whistling
Please let me go

She keeps saying that we're alright
But it don't look it by the daylight, daylight
She has got me in a chokehold
A full cup of blood lust
Please let me go
Please let me go
Please let me go
Blood red
Blood red the roses grow

Every second
Every minute I atone
Peel back my skin
Until you reach the bone
She's my angel and my devil both
Blood red
Blood red the roses grow

Tastes like there is poison in the water
But I would take a drink for her, for her
She keeps pulling me back under
Hands tied
Sweet lies
Please let me go
Please let me go
Please let me go
Blood red
Blood red the roses grow

Every second
Every minute I atone
Peel back my skin
Until you reach the bone
She's my angel and my devil both
Blood red
Blood red the roses grow
I will kneel at the altar
Take the oath
Take my body
Take my soul
Whichever you want most
She's my angel and my devil both
Blood red
Blood red the roses grow

Please let me go
Please let me go
Blood red blood red the roses grow

Every second
Every minute I atone
Peel back my skin
Until you reach the bone
She's my angel and my devil both
Blood red
Blood red the roses grow
