Petals

LyricsInformation
she's the angel on top of the tree
sugar heart here she comes, she's going to fall on me
innocence was our fire, we told the truth
i missed the sweet boys in the summer of their youth

tear the petals off of you, make you tell the truth
tear the petals off of you, tear the petals off of you
make you tell the truth, tear the petals off of you

they will make you so, so cynical
the fire burns the flesh destroy the best in me that's old
she's the grace of this world, she's too pure
for the likes of this world, this world is a whore

tear the petals off of you, make you tell the truth
tear the petals off of you, tear the petals off of you
make you tell the truth, tear the petals off of you

oh it's all mine, hey it's all mine, held in some mine
never knew what i could be, all the darling buds of may
they fall with no sound, they carry you down, they carry you down

[oooh oooh]

all the lilies bloomed and blossomed, wilted and their shivering
i can't stop their withering, oh, this world is a war

tear the petals off of you, make you tell the truth
tear the petals off of you, tear the petals off of you
make you tell the truth, tear the petals off of you
