Rose

don't

disturb

the beast

the tempermental goat

the snail

while he's feeding on the rose

stay rose, and compromise what i will, i am

been around

the wind silently blown about

again i'm treading so

soft and lightly

compromising my will i am

i am

my will

so no longer

will i

lay down

play dead

play hard to-

in the headlights, locked down and terrified

your deer in the headlights shined down and horrified

when push comes to pull comes to shove comes to step around

this self destructive dance that never would've managed

i rose, i roared aloud, hear my will, i am

i am

my will

so no longer

will i

lay down

play dead

play this

kneel-down gunshy martyr, pitiful

i rose, i roared, my will i am
