I don’t see what I see
Falling away from behind
I’m in a game of hide and seek
Sun shines outside my mind
I wonder if I’m alone
Wonder who might be absurd
I don’t want to raise my eyes
All small, folded up tight
So I count the roses
Yellow, red and white
Don’t dare use my fingers
Many, many roses trap me more at night
Roses weigh and roses wound
They get their rhythm right
I wanna know, white roses know
How they grow smooth and right
So I count the roses
Yellow, red and white
Don’t dare use my fingers
Many, many roses trap me more at night
So I count the roses
Yellow, red and white
Don’t dare use my fingers
Many, many roses trap me more at night
