"Too Late for Roses"
Locked away forever
Let's try to keep it that way
The shadows will linger forever and ever
No one cares what you have to say
The void is filled with the sound of your voice
You whisper "don't go," but you leave me no choice
This goes on for far too long
On and on for way too long
Shut up, right now, just be quiet and listen
We'll see how you last
When you drink your own poison
(Backup and lead singer singing back and forth)
Whisper in my ear... ...I can't hear you
Speak a little louder... ...I still can't hear you
A little louder still... ...you're fading away
Tell him that you love him... ...scream it in my face
The tears start to fall... ...I'm laughing on the inside
On your knees, you cry... ...hate to say "I told you so."
You rest now in darkness... ...Because it won't go away
The void is filled with the sound of your words
You tell me you love me, when you know that it hurts
This goes on for far too long
on and on for way too long
Shut up, right now, just shut up and listen
We'll see how you last
When you drink your own poison
I'm not just angry
I hope you burn.
This is for a recently formed band I am a part of. The song is very angry, as I wrote it before we decided what we are going to sound like. We are NOT an angry band... Something with a sound reminiscent of Coldplay, Angels & Airwaves, and Radiohead. What do you think?
