"The Iron Rose" lyrics

"The Iron Rose"

You're the one that I want
The only one that I want
You're the one that I want
The only one that I want

All these forgeries perched upon my shoulders
Maybe they will go away
These wires get crossed
Holding cables that've frayed
Let 'em hang

Ten thousand phantoms rush through me
And I know I'll regret it
If you have watched me mid eclipse
Then you should know
That it's not safe inside my mind

You're the one that I want
The only one that I want
You're the one that I want
The only one that I want

Maybe I am cold and mirrorless
Maybe I am caught in the cold

Every time you let me
I can't look down the needle's eye
I never wanted to fail
But I always fail

Ten thousand fathoms underneath
Can you feel my hands?
Watching me close to endless sleep
Then you should know
That it's not safe inside my mind

You're the one that I want
The only one that I want
Mercy in the crosshairs, let me go

You're the one that I want
The only one that I want
Mercy in the crosshairs, let me go

You're the one that I want
The only one that I want
Mercy in the crosshairs, let me go

You're the one that I want
The only one that I want
Mercy in the crosshairs, let me go

Maybe I am cold and mirrorless
Maybe I am caught in the cold
