Petals

She's the angel on top of the tree

Sugar heart, here she comes

She's goin' to fall on me

Innocence was our fire

We told the truth

I miss the sweet boys in the summer of their youth

Tear the petals off of you

Make you tell the truth

Tear the petals off of you (you)

Tear the petals off of you

Make you tell the truth

Tear the petals off of you (you)

They will make you so

So cynical

The fire burns the flesh, destroy the past that made us old

She's the grace of this world

She's too pure

For the likes of this world, this world is a whore

Tear the petals off of you

Make you tell the truth

Tear the petals off of you (you)

(La, la, la, la)

Tear the petals off of you

Make you tell the truth

Tear the petals off of you

I wait 'til mine and

Hey, it's all mine

Hey, it's all mine

Never knew what I could be

All the darling buds of May, they fall with no sound

They carry you down, they carry you down

(Ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh)

All the lilies bloomed and blossomed

Wilted and they're shivering

I can't stop their withering, oh, this world is at war

Tear the petals off of you

Make you tell the truth

Tear the petals off of you (you)

(La la la la)

Tear the petals off of you

Make you tell the truth

Tear the petals off of you (you)

(La la la la)

Tear the petals off of you

Make you tell the truth

Tear the petals off of you (you)
