Through the Roses

Through the Roses (玫瑰丛中) - Future Islands

Catch me laughing

Catch me drinking past the dawn

Catch me singing

Catch me beaming open armed

Don't watch me weeping

Don't watch me weep into my palms

Don't watch me leaving I'll be gone

Kiss me mother kiss me father

Fore I go

Don't want to leave you

But I'm sorry I can't hold

And you see me through the roses

Through the lights and the smoke and the screen

I'm no one better

I'm no better than you and I'm scared

Just searching for truth

It's not easy just being human

And the lights and the smoke and the screens

Don't make it better

I'm no stronger than you and I'm scared

I don't know what to do

I'm scared

That I can't pull through

In the weak of my soul

The temptation to look inside my wrist it grows

The cut is waiting

The cut is waxing in it's hold

The clutch of nothing

The curse of wanting

Takes me whole

And you see me

Through the roses

Through the lights and the smoke and the screen

I'm no one better

I'm no better than you and I'm scared

Just searching for truth

It's not easy

Just being human

And the lights and the smoke and the screens

Don't make it better

I'm no stronger than you and I'm scared

I don't know what to do

I'm scared

We can pull through

Together

Together

Together

We can pull through

Together

Together

Together

We can pull through

Together

Together

Together

We can pull through

Together

Together

Together

We can pull through
