Yellow Rose

Yellow rose, I swallowed, pit of my stomach churning
Choked on another I told you so, rage within me burning
Petals heavy as led, outside in I'm stained
Regurgitating faith, yellow coursing through my veins

There's no cure for deception
What's done is done, another re-run
There's no cure for deception
I am gone, you have won

Familiar taste encompassing all I once knew
He loves me he loves me not, robbed of all I held true
Inner strength escapes me, deflated disaster I am
Remnants of who I once was slowly seep through my skin

There's no cure for deception
What's done is done, you better run
There's no cure for deception
So un-fun, you are now no one

Yes, yellow rose I swallowed but you can't blame me
For on the art of being deceived I've had years of training

Blind gluttony immobilized, punishment I don't deserve
Yellow breath rank bellows, tiny woman-vision blurred
Yellow rose, I swallowed, pit of my stomach churning
Choked on another I told you so, rage within me burning
