Scarlet petals of the rose I gave you

[verse 1]
Viscous asphalt is like chewing gum
On the soles of my worn-out shoes
In this city there’s nothing to breathe for days on end
I feel like a fish that’s been washed up on the shore.

After the magnificent rose I gave to you
Burst into bloom in the skies,
Its scarlet petals rained down on the ground
Then revealing my personal hell

[pre-chorus 1]
I need some ice to pull myself together

[chorus]
It has come -
My personal hell on the streets
Where we used to dream about our future
Together

[verse 2]
One day I’ll lose my mind from this glow
My brain is like melted cheese spread on a piece of bread
A vice keeps tightening around me
My skin is cracking, splitting at the seams

[pre-chorus 2]
I need so much more ice just to feel alive

[final chorus]
Gave everything I had to feel...
Everything to feel some love...
A little love just to survive,
Giving everything to feel every touch like the great flame,
To remember we were alive

[outro]
We were alive...
Were alive...
