Black Rose Smiling

Описание: Blank ink drip
Blink of an eye that bid goodbye
Dried-up flowers
A black rose dying
Lying in the lies of empty smiles

A regret that kept stretching
Til silence filled the air
Something broken had awoken
Now it sings about the end

What else can one do
Other than wear the pain that remains
A voice that was offered
And for its only cause to be suffering

Blood leaking from the gaping chest
A defective doll different than rest
The endless grieving
Still bleeding, still invisible
The creaking evening of a mourning reaper

Sadness that kept calling
Til no tear was left to fall
Something sinister
No, maybe just misery singing

What else can one do
Other than wear the pain that remains
A voice that was offered
And for its only cause to be suffering

Shadows of the messengers
Corpses that ceased to exist
Resistance and acceptance
Piercing the heart in the dark
Where no light could reach the scars
Calling out names of the decayed

The world kept moving
And they kept standing
From springs along the shore
To winters on a snowy cliff
Will anyone ever care enough
To tell such tale with a smile
What else can one do
Other than sing about the truth

Naked
Betrayal
Denial
Finality of nothingness
Dressed as meaning
Feelings discarded

What else can one do
Other than wear the pain that remains
A voice that was offered
And for its only cause to be suffering

A cruel judge records the faded letters of life
Only a bird with broken wings can sing the truth
Of a black rose dying with a smile
