SHE SMELLED LIKE ROSES

she always brought bad vibes
she was always full of venom
full of poison
but she smelled like roses
so i let her in
its the scent that gets you everytime
and the nightmare begins again
i invited unrest into my bed
and i layed down everynight and closed my eyes
i woke up with a hole in my heart
and a lung full of colored fluids
i didnt want to adress the issues
i didnt want to know about the lies she was hiding
she was stretched at the seems with so much dirt in her past
all that horror that she didnt want me to know about
i was her release valve
her way to try to escape all that pain
it was as if she was sinking in quicksand and she latched onto my neck
to try to pull herself out of the pain
i tried to help her
i tried to mend her wounds and carve a nice little place inside my heart for her
but wolves are wild animals at heart
and they will always bite the hand that feeds
they will always break out of their cages and run back into the night
to feed on innocent prey
to get sprayed by another skunk and come crawlng back to me to wash the sin off her soul
i was a lightbulb in a dark world
and she was the moth begging for light
just something to warm her cold soul
theres something broken inside of her
theres something missing in there
she will never be happy for the rest of her life
she thinks that somehow someone will fall into the gap between her legs
and it will be good enough for them to protect her for the rest of her life
she thinks that life works like that
she thinks reality is every man for themselves
she'd sell her mother out if it meant being comfortable for the rest of her life

i feel drained
life hasnt been the same since she took the essence away
i smelled the roses
her roses
her roses grew in a vase full of poison
and shes out there looking for the next victim
looking for that life to drain
cause she doesnt have anything left
except to take from other people

one day i'll get back what you took from me

and i will make you see the light

i will destroy you
