Coming Up Roses

Hard to muster courage
When disaster hits home
Look forward to nothing
But being alone

You're coming up roses
With stems in your hair
You're climbing that staircase
Your conscience unmanned

Way to land a job like that
You're gaining all your dignity back
Oo we saw you growing
No way you've been thinking of me when

Carving up roses
With barely a care
Seem so damn precocious
The petals so bland

Coming up roses
With stems in your hair
You're climbing that staircase
Your conscience unmanned

Carving up roses
With barely a care
Look so damn atrocious
With nettles in hand
