Throw the roses

Embalm me and throw me in the fire
Only ashes remain but my soul soars higher
In this life I've led so far, it's sickening
I need to die to myself, this is my reckoning

The skies are turning black on me
As I watch the colors fade away
Throw the roses on my grave
My life is yours, so take it away!

So close my casket and erase my mind
And bury it so deep I won't come back to fight

Like broken petals you come falling down to me
The cards we're dealt is not how it has to be
And I know life's a fragile thing
But you can break mine

The skies are turning black on me
As I watch the colors fade away
Throw the roses on my grave
My life is yours, so take it away!

I'm so tired of being alone
So draw near to me
I've always been afraid of death
But now I welcome you
Welcome it openly!

The skies are turning black on me
As I watch the colors fade away
The skies are turning black on me
As I watch the colors fade away
Throw the roses on my grave
My life is yours, so take it away!
So take it away!
