The Indelicates - Roses lyrics

I breached the border of your home And everything looked as it should have done Candle flame flickers, and books unread Round the crystal kept keep of an unmade bed Flowers cut to shrivel and die Like romance does and we both know why With an artful flutter, as if on cue A gentle breeze brings the scent of you I'm older than god and i live in your town You should raise up what you can't put down Those books that you pose with are more than antiques When you search in the dark you should fear what you seek Pallid in moonlight, your shimmering skin Is mine to caress, you invited me in The delicate architecture of your throat Arks weakly away as my hands approach Do you bleed diamonds Do you bleed rubies Do you bleed roses A broken kiss, and an aching sigh Like the half-heard end of a lullaby A whispering chorus and a stifled moan The jarring vibration of knife on bone The stark composition of essence and parts I gathered your limbs for a final dance A silent waltz to your songs unsung As the life-blood seeps from your punctured lung Do you bleed diamonds Do you bleed rubies Do you bleed roses You bleed diamonds You bleed rubies You bleed roses
