One Stem, and a million thorns

We’re two roses that grew from concrete

 

No amount of cracks in the pavement will be our mass destruction

They will not consume us because our thorns will prevail

No garden of evil will separate us from one another

 We’re born from the same stem that holds us oh so cautiously

Oh yes, Pain resides in the indigo night 

While the darkness of it all makes us closer, and closer 

We’re red as ever - full of passion n desire

Until the day we’re black n bruised at heaven’s door

Until the day you're struck by the lightning of time past

You, and I were electric, instantly fused by each other's minds 

Ideas flowed like electricity in our veins - a reaction 

Being unplugged from you will be the day my lights go out

The day the world becomes Black and white

The day I can no longer find the light - you

Everything I do is to see those eyes beam with affection

 

They’re the only two things in this world that know my soul

After all I lost who I was before I met you

Now I glisten in the evening skies for you

My leaves change only when yours do

My petals fall only when yours flourish

My thorns come alive to those hands that try to pluck you away

We're two roses in this garden of evil

and we're honest to God in this cruel reality
