A Rose (For Her Grave)
Richy Nix

Your wedding day outside the church
You'll find me right beside the curve
Kicking stones and thinking of
Of the one you're suppose to love
Then a man pulls up and whistles
As he hands over the pistol
Now I'm stepping through the aisle
Pointing this modern thorn to your smile

The thorn is in my hands
They told me that I [tied] down a sweet good night
You used to be a part of me, now you became an enemy
Now everybody's letting me know
You're not worth the pain
This rose is for your grave

He standing in this tux
With his plans to destruct
This man is scared enough
With the sand covered in blood
Cause he killed you now
He failed you out
His gun's raised up
You can feel the sound
I'm ready for whatever
I'm even ready for war
But if you want to get together
We can settle the score
Why is it that your laughter is always the greatest force
Is like momma and daddy would begin to play the [thorn]?

I refuse to be the last one to take your fall
My innocent reactions are all based on
Not just an exquisite passion, touching, fucking, with a little bit of action
If you think I'm going to need your smile
You better think again, baby breathe it out
A walking, talking contradiction
The life was real but the gun was fiction

This time it's over
The days get colder
I seen it coming
I seen you running
To be this lonely
Is if the only thing that I cannot take
It's what I cannot make
I hear your laughter
My heart beats faster
You are far from an angel
I'll close the casket, you'll let me gasp in
Finally breathing, now that you're leaving

If I get laid on, I'm telling you this set off
I'll be cutting your head off
The machete's in the trunk
I [finally] realize the protection that I need
To see it in your eyes to bite my neck 'til I bleed
Put you for the vampire killing like a landslide
But you can't hide

It's not rational, I have to go
Who would end their lives, with somebody like you
You put so many lies and you never admit it
So I can end your life and never regret it
You might possible be stopping me from winning the big lottery
But obviously you've gotta be feeling trapped and not as free
Because Romeo has fled the scene

This time it's over
The days get colder
I seen it coming
I seen you running
To be this lonely
Is if the only thing that I cannot take
It's what I cannot make
I hear your laughter
My heart beats faster
You are far from an angel
I'll close the casket, you'll let me gasp in
Finally breathing, now that you're leaving

[You should be one of these]
Move to California
So that we can quarantine those who like to follow
Come on girls let's show the world what I'm made of
Throw at me your favorite stone
You won't get back from who you take from
You won't get back from who you take from
Don't worry cause life has it's thorn

My blood pours out your speaker. (x4)

It probably won't hurt if you cooperate
I don't know how it's worse, don't complicate
I think the gun's broken so I stop and wait
You've got the hate and I've got the stakes

Merciless queen will you marry
Evil love goddess can you bury me
Into the spirits that will lay me forever (x2)

This time it's over
The days get colder
I seen it coming
I seen you running
To be this lonely
Is if the only thing that I cannot take
It's what I cannot make
I hear your laughter
My heart beats faster
You are far from an angel
I'll close the casket, you'll let me gasp in
Finally breathing, now that you're leaving

Ohhhhohhhohoh Ohhhhohhhohoh
I can't love no more (x3)
