Roses
Watsky

Don't let my ghost drag you down

If you don't see me around

It doesn't mean that I fell

Yeah I'm doing well

I got some roses to smell

I hope you smile when I'm gone

It means I had the strength to move on

To find another story to tell

To answer the bell

I got some roses to smell

When magic's happening my habit's been coiling up a memory and trappin it right

In the cavity of my ribs, like the doors of a cabinet might

But you won't hold onto a shadow just by grabbing it tight

Set it free and let it back in the light

Never out of my heart, even when out of my sight

Leaving is sposed to be hard

Man I thought it so was selfish of people I love to keep falling out of my life

But now I know

No I don't take it personal

If you got a really lovely place to go

I will chase my goals yeah, to make me whole

Cause it's urgent we love and be loved

I've begun to scrub up with detergent to shine up my soul

Don't let my ghost drag you down

If you don't see me around

It doesn't mean that I fell

Yeah I'm doing well

I got some roses to smell

I hope you smile when I'm gone

It means I had the strength to move on

To find another story to tell

To answer the bell

I got some roses to smell

Cause every screen the we tap is screaming that bigger is better

Better is how you make yourself matter

But matter is fleeting

Am I living to feed a machine that I'm blind to see?

No point in hiding my pride if there's no privacy

I've already dedicated too much of my time to trying to get my followers up

And crying out for attention

And sleeping around to mend a hollow crater inside of me

Knowing well that it don't mean shit

Going to the well for another cheap dopamine hit

I'm done being a bitch to ambition

I'm already rich

I got a head that's full of million dollar questions

And the length of it

Is I don't need the courage to work

I want the strength to quit
