he's as lovely as a rose

So this,
Is the end of love,
And so this,
Is the end of life,
Your knife,
Is stuck in my back,
Your betrayal stings worse,
That a thousand wasp's attacks.

Oh he's as lovely as a rose,
And as deadly as it's thorn,
My heart,
Is covered in gasoline,
So just throw me a match,
And you watch me crawl tonight.

Open arms,
Left open wounds,
My pain,
Rests on your shoulders
My hearts apart,
And no time will heal it,
I can hear the ticking but I can’t find the tock.

Oh he's as lovely as a rose,
And as deadly as it's thorn,
My heart,
Is covered in gasoline,
So just throw me a match,
And you watch me crawl tonight.

If only for today,
Death would redeem me,
If only for tonight,
I wouldn't sleep alone,
For life,
Without you,
Has left me,
Broken and dead.

Oh he's as lovely as a rose,
And as deadly as it's thorn,
My heart,
Is covered in gasoline,
So just throw me a match,
And you watch me crawl tonight.

I've got no soul,
And I've got no purpose,
Can you see my hate,
As I feel its surface,
Death's upon us tonight,
And his aim is set on you.

Oh he's as lovely as a rose,
And as deadly as it's thorn,
My heart,
Is covered in gasoline,
So just throw me a match,
And you watch me crawl tonight.

It's time my dear,
I can smell the fear,
Amongst cheap perfume,
Now meet your demise,
Just one look in my hate-filled eyes,
Goodbye my dear,
You've got nothing left to loose,
So lay your head,
It's time to sleep,
Just dry your tears,
For the dead can't weep,
Sleep is just a cousin of death.

Oh he's as lovely as a rose,
And as deadly as it's thorn,
My heart,
Is covered in gasoline,
So just throw me a match,
And you watch me crawl tonight.
