Glass Divide - Stopwatch

Ground down, its taking the best of me
You push me further long the edge that I'm on
Giving in, each day the pain showing
Now you push it back in and paint the roses

Masks off, shaking the core of me
With every step you make it clear what is gone
Deep in, the mires of misery
Prop it up with a grin and paint the roses

You paint the roses red
You paint the picture instead
Then you dress up the dead
Off with her head

Round and round we go
Burn desire, I wont set myself on fire to keep you warm
You can call it what you want
Maybe both our hearts were broken from the start

Kowtow just to make it easy
As I resent the fact that I wasn't wrong
Losing all my humanity
Frame a loss as a win and paint the roses

I know this ain't the best for me
And knew the pieces didn't fit all along
Feeling true love is a fantasy
Gloss over your sins and paint the roses

You paint the roses
You paint the roses red
We paint the roses
Were poisoned by the lead
We paint the roses
Now we dress up the dead
We paint the roses
Off with her head

What's worse the cure or the curse
It's just the same old song
Burdened but so sure that it hurts
You can't reverse it plays on and on and on
