The Velvet Teen - Red, Like Roses video free download

this song basically encapsulates what it is to be alone and without hope.

also, it's god damned beautiful.

buy it from the velvet teen! they deserve your money.

lyrical sweetness:

each night i close my eyes and wonder what will come of me in days to follow...

i lay awake, and after countless hours, i just can't think straight.

turn in, fade, pass out.

yet, in this simple way, we offer

to destroy all we can't figure out

in our simple lives, unconscious

we employ our skills from underground

to seek what we've never seen,

to explore, deep inside...

the mornings greet me with grey days and tear-stained windowsills

and pillowcases, i get dressed and go to work.

bloody noses, red, like roses, pose as sanctuary when

i just need a minute to myself...

and in this simple way, we offer

to destroy all we can't figure out

in our simple lives, unconscious

we employ our skills from underground

to seek what we've never seen.

to find, where we never knew to explore deep, inside

kill me! won't you kill me?

kill me! let me sleep again!

kill me! don't relate your memories!

kill me! kill me, won't you?!

to see what we've never seen.

to find where we never knew to go where we never dared to explore

deep...
