Roses
Poet's of the fall Lyrics

I've walked the distance, I paid my dues and tried to have a go at what I thought I knew was real, held No appeal
I have come a long way, faced challenges, and attempted to pursue what I believed was valid but realized it wasn't worth the effort.

I've been to places, I've seen the tidings, I bought a book of rules for every coin that I could steal And so I came to gaze upon the stars, when they were yet unborn And consequently, tear at my old scars, and the mask I had outworn
I have traveled to distant places, experienced ups and downs, invested in guidance and knowledge, and realized the importance of looking within oneself to heal the cracks and break the shackles of pretense.

So when I'm crying alone Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone
At times of vulnerability, darkness, and despair, when there is no one around to comfort or help me, I feel lost and lonely.

Grow me a garden of roses Paint me the colors of sky and rain Teach me to speak with their voices Show me the way and I'll try again
In those moments of distress and agony, I seek solace and guidance from nature's beauty, its colors, and fragrances, hoping to learn its ways, find direction, and gather the strength to persist.

I've heard the rumors, started fires, I sowed a sordid lot of plays for keeps for what I need, behold The demons that I freed I've tried my best at wearing the hard hat, but healing doesn't seem to happen when you hide away the Seed And so I came across the medicine man, and he showed me what I'd forlorn For if I'm stayed it happens by my own hand, and my own voice full of scorn
I have indulged in gossip, caused trouble, played selfish games, and released my inner demons, trying to protect myself with a tough exterior, but realized that true healing requires confronting and letting go of the past. Seeking the guidance of a wise person, I discovered what I have lost, and that staying stuck is a result of my own actions and negativity.

Without you I'm nothing at all And life has the face of a morbid game With you nothing seems impossible It all seems to fit the frame
Without love and support, my life feels worthless and meaningless, like a depressing game. But with someone by my side, everything falls into place, and every obstacle seems surmountable.

Grow me a garden of roses Paint me the colors of sky and rain Teach me to speak with their voices Show me the way and I'll try again
Reflecting on the fact that having someone guiding and nurturing me can bring so much positivity and renewal, I ask again for the power of nature, its beauty, and wisdom to revive my hope and renew my determination.
