Rose in the Thorns
Split Seven Ways Lyrics

We got so close, just to fall apart,
And I found I could not defeat,
Ghosts that haunted you from the start,
Memories that left you incomplete.
I think of the things I could have done,
To help you fix you, but
Even though we’re both still young,
Your heart and mind sealed shut.

You were a star in the dark, a rose in the thorns that’s slowing being swallowed.

You’re a creature that was full of life, rendered cold and hollow.
You think you found a path to grace, it comes at such a cost.
Soon there’ll be nothing that can replace the heart that you have lost.

I’m tired of your hypocrisy,
My love is not some prize.
Your eyes said you’re in love with me,
But your words claimed otherwise.
So go away, leave me alone,
I can’t be near you now.
I hope someday you can atone your sins,
Just don’t know how.

You were a star in the dark, a rose in the thorns that’s slowing being swallowed.
You’re a creature that was full of life, rendered cold and hollow.
You think you found a path to grace, it comes at such a cost.
Soon there’ll be nothing that can replace the heart that you have lost.

I've got a life to crawl back to,
I guess I’m luckier than you.

You were a star in the dark, a rose in the thorns that’s slowing being swallowed.
You’re a creature that was full of life, rendered cold and hollow.
You think you found a path to grace, but it comes at such a cost.
Soon there’ll be nothing that can replace the heart that you have lost.

Split Seven Ways is the wizard rock (music based on the universe of Harry Potter created by JK Rowling) brainchild of Zoë. The project was created in Summer 2007 after the release of the final book in the series, Deathly Hallows, and takes its name from the dedication of that book. Combining acoustic guitar, violin, synths and vocals, Split Seven Ways songs are about teenage angst, adults who won't grow up (for whatever reason), friendship, rivalry, and romantic trauma, and veer wildly from fun to tragic.

Zoë has several other music projects - Malfoy Manor (a more electronic kind of wizard rock), Zoë's Adventures Under Ground (her "Muggle", aka non-Harry-Potter, music), and The Vashta Nerada (her collaborative nerd-music effort with MaryBeth Schroeder of the wizard rock act Nagini and is based in the UK.
