Like painted roses
that climb and cling
a blank canvas exploded
when your curling fingers
that climb and cling
wound ‘round my heart and made it sing.
When your curling fingers
just as roses have thorns
wound ‘round my heart and made it sing.
I cried acrylic
just as roses have thorns
I wonder, were those your lips?
I cried acrylic
you held my breath like a statue
I wonder, were those your lips?
Centrifugal force pulled us closer and
you held my breath like a statue
as I waited, watching your eyes.
Centrifugal force pulled us closer and
I thought we’d over lap like contour lines.
As I waited, watching your eyes
a blank canvas exploded.
I thought we’d over lap like contour lines,
like painted roses.

(it'sa Pantoum. Hence the blaring repetition)
Life is like a costume ball.
We slip on satin gloves
and rise and fall to the beat
that dictates our loves.
We slip on satin gloves
Just as we put on a mask to hide the face
that dictates our loves.
Everyone looks a little bit better in lace,
just as we put on a mask to hide the face.
Don’t dance with your heart on your sleeve.
Everyone looks a little bit better in lace.
Take my hand and step in time with me.
Don’t dance with your heart on your sleeve,
it’s far too fragile a trinket.
Take my hand and step in time with me.
Though the wine will make you feel divine, only fools drink it.
It’s far too fragile a trinket
to toy with that crimson corsage like glass.
Though the wine will make you feel divine, only fools drink it
because sobriety saves face behind a mask
to toy with that crimson corsage like glass
and rise and fall to the beat
because sobriety saves face behind a mask.
Life is like a costume ball.

Icy eyes hypnotize
like icicles that clink and chime
sweetly singing in my veins
because I know you’re mine.
Like icicles that clink and chime
only diamonds cut my skin
because I know you’re mine
when you stop to grin.
Only diamonds cut my skin.
Tears crystallize in my eyes
when you stop to grin.
You know, blue roses are dyed.
Tears crystallize in my eyes
just as roses grow thorns
you know, blue roses are dyed
although it seems insane.
Just as roses grow thorns
sweetly singing in my veins,
although it seems insane
your icy eyes hypnotize.
