lyrics

Thorns in the Dust

Music and Lyrics © 2018 Taylor Madison Damion

“The eleventh hour closes
I dread the truth I know,
Hold these dying roses
afraid to let them go,
But life goes on after all
If only you could just,
Let the petals fall
And leave these Thorns in the dust”

Your melancholy roses
Cry petals on the floor
Their velvet tears are falling
In a pool of crimson outside my door

How can you pretend
That treachery and lust
Has any other end

Than thorns in the dust
You can cry if you must
For the thorns in the dust
How can I ever trust you now?

This haunting scent of roses
Lingers in the hall
Coiling like seduction
Have to catch myself before I fall

How can you ever mend
Disintegrating trust
With nothing to extend

But thorns in the dust
You can cry if you must
For the thorns in the dust
How can I ever trust you now?
