Lyrics

[00:26] "It's not really poetry, but it's pretty," he said
[00:30] As he raises his voice, she lowers her head.
[00:35] "It makes my heart heavey, you're lonely, I think.
[00:38] Oh Rose, you're sad, I suppose."
[00:44] "Look in her bed and she's bound to be sleeping
[00:48] She's lying there dead. - Now, she's breathing."
[01:05] Furious Rose, with your opiate eyes,
[01:09] your languorous hum, that tone of surprise.
[01:13] I've heard energy in adversity
[01:15] Your smile, the soul of witchery.
[01:19] You're not running away,
[01:22] you're not running - are you?
[01:32] Lyrically longing, she's tearing the words from the page.
[01:40] She's fearfully seething.
[01:42] "Bring me your blessings, a prayer, or a new pen.
[01:47] - You don't know what I need."
[01:51] "Look in my bed and I'm bound to be sleeping,
[01:55] I'm lying there dead, but I'm breathing."
[02:02] And I'm barely balancing as it is,
[02:06] and I don't want to drown in my dreams.
[02:11] Bring me wild plums and agrimony
[02:16] - I bet you don't even know what that means.
[02:21] Furious Rose, with your opiate eyes,
[02:25] your languorous hum, that tone of surprise.
[02:30] I've heard energy in adversity
[02:32] Your smile, the soul of witchery.
[02:35] You're not running away,
[02:37] You're not running
[02:39] You're not running away,
[02:42] You're not running ,
[02:44] You're not running away,
[02:47] You're not running
[02:48] are you?
[02:58] Gingerly peering over his shoulders, removed herself from the room.
[03:09] She's terribly freezing, she always knows when to go.
