roses

smoke is swimming on the ceiling
like phantom eels and dissolving
into an abstraction made of grey
in my bed my brain is ashes
i'm not dead but i have flashes
of what things will be like
when i'm done and gone away
oh won't you leave some thornless roses by my grave

in the coldblaze sunlight snowy
winter where you got to know me
did you think we'd last so very long
i'm amazed that youre still with me
fuck up and you still forgive me
and you still say that you love my songs
so i keep singing
please leave me some thornless roses when i'm gone

no we never got to travel
and sometimes our lives unravelled
but we weathered it together
and sometimes forever is a moment
and it gets so crazy don't it
and you know it then it's over

but when the wheel comes back full circle
and i go back to my mother
it will not be just another day
when im gone i will still love you
shine down from the sky above you
when you lay those roses by name
