Like a Petal from the Rose
Falling on your grave
Like the ashes from the smoke
In your blackened lungs

It's such a crime to waste your time
by smoking your mind dry
It's so easy to think you're crazy
when you're young you're not
It's all aligned for when you find your gift
It's up to you to lift others on up

I should have been banging down doors
Crawling on all fours
Screaming out my name

We're all worried where the next bomb will threat
Where the next train will wreck
Where's that storm that washed away your dreams

It's such a crime to waste your time
by drinking your mind blind
And it's so easy to think you're crazy
when you're old you are
It's all aligned for when you find your gift
It's up to you to lift others on up

I should have been banging down doors
Crawling naked on floors
Screaming out my name
