Roses - CHVRCHES

On the edge of a city in a slow dive
Or so say you
So say you

Crosshairs in the centre of a skyline
Waiting for the right time

Freezing up like a rabbit in the headlights
Oh, what to do?
What to do?

I don't think I can see it as a good sign
If all of it repeats and rhymes

Ring-a-ring-a roses, oh, we all fall to the ground
Every circle closes, for a penny, for a pound
All these things for God and for king, we all keep going 'round
Ring-a-ring-a roses, oh, we all fall to the ground

Line them up, take aim, who you gonna blame?
Imagine that
Oh, imagine that

Shit-scared of the horrors in your own brain
Swimming pools of acid rain

Fill a glass with delusions of the good days
Of blood and wine
Of pearls for swine

Never sure if you're paranoid or entertained
Weighing up the pain and gain
Oh, don't you feel ashamed?

Ring-a-ring-a roses, oh, we all fall to the ground
Every circle closes, for a penny, for a pound
All these things for God and for king, we all keep going 'round
Ring-a-ring-a roses, oh, we all fall to the ground

A woman is a woman even if you want her dead
Siphoning the bodies as a way to get ahead
Finding hidden meaning inside everything you read
Driving yourself crazy over who is in whose bed

Stiff upper lip
Shooting from the hip
Running like a rat
Afraid of sinking with the ship

Are you being fed?
Are you ready yet?
Doesn't fucking matter, on your marks, get set

Ring-a-ring-a roses, oh, we all fall to the ground
Every circle closes, for a penny, for a pound
All these things for God and for king, we all keep going 'round
Ring-a-ring-a roses, oh, we all fall to the ground

Here lies
The legacy
The body, the head and the heart

And if I may command
Your undivided attention

Now
We can start

Start
