There's something that I'm missing
I can taste it on my tongue
But I can't seem to shake this haze
And get it through my skull
If only I could silence
The voices in my head
Then I could find a way
To believe myself instead
I'm so sick of letting all this nonsense
Get the best of me, the best of me
I'm a painted rose
Beginning to wilt but no on will ever know
And I'm waiting for the day
That I'll be dipped in gold
Strip away
Every imperfection and every fault
I can no longer pretend to be
Someone that I'm not
It's too late to surrender
There's no turning back
All my white flags are bloodstained
And littering the grass
Bury me beneath
The rows of evergreens
In a paper casket
And unmarked grave
Bury me to drown out
This cacophony and doubt
As I watch the sky dissolve
And fade away
I'm a painted rose
Beginning to wilt but no on will ever know
And I'm waiting for the day
That I'll be dipped in gold
Strip away
Every imperfection and every fault
I can no longer pretend to be
Someone that I'm not
The temperatures are rising
The ice is getting thin
If I step in the wrong direction
I'm sure to fall right in
Sinking, I'm sinking
Please pull me out
Sinking, I'm sinking
I'm a painted rose
Beginning to wilt but no on will ever know
And I'm waiting for the day
That I'll be dipped in gold
Strip away
Every imperfection and every fault
I can no longer pretend to be
Someone that I'm not
