Weezer - Dead Roses lyrics

Turn the key And step into the blackness Lamplight falls And casts a laughing phantom I imagine your smile And the life that we could share With the last of my steps I see the truth lying there Dead roses At the bottom of an oubliette Where they beat you 'til you beg to live You reminding you were always mine Now I'm crying over dead roses I could never let them go A winged beast Of horns upon his cranium Slinks away And grinning, makes his way up I grasp the pieces of rose In your raven locks of hair I hear the turn of the key As I hiss my final prayer Dead roses At the bottom of an oubliette Where they beat you 'til you beg to live You reminding you were always mine Now I'm crying over dead roses I could never let them go
