(Inspired by Je Dor Sur De Roses from Mozart L’Opéra Rock)
Here I lie among the roses
Where no one could hear me
Crying my heart out of my chest
Then I let my tears fall silently
And water the flowers of my life
Here I dream among the roses
Where the world is dark
A hand reaches out and withdraws
Back into the black
Where I see no red roses
I woke up among the roses
Opening my eyes to a nightingale
Chirping and aria in the morning light
I respond with a broken voice
Fa – sol – fa
The notes crack midair
They shatter and fall into-
Into the roses
