lyrics

Sixteen delicate roses
tied together on display.
Some humble way to make people pause:
Come in & smell the bouquet!

Kicking carols down a Christmas-cobbled street
while wind whistles through the snow
Can candlelight grow wings and carry me
to the home I used to know?

Sixteen sweet-petalled roses
fit together so peacefully
I’m a vase & I’m broken
I’m only partially me
~
I’ve got secrets and you’ve got me,
you’ve got what you need right now.
I’ve got pieces I don’t intend for you to see
The curtain calls us all to bow

Sixteen quiet stolen roses
starting to wilt in front of me—
It gets hard for me to notice
I need to step outside and breathe
