Guilty Roses
Three dollars at the drug store
For a rose as real as life
Can’t pass the display
I want to take one to my wife
But she’s one suspicious lady
A rose herself you see
“I’m not that complicate.”
That’s what she said to me.
So, when she says, “It’s best you don’t.”
How could I disagree
She said that the rose is the devil’s flower
I guess that she should know
There’s no deciding what to take her
She leaves no room for doubt
I take her yellow M&Ms
I throw the others out
There’s poison in the sugar
The devil in the dye…
And how could candy be a tell
In this poker game of life
There’s a rose out by the drive way
I could cut it with my knife
Three dollars at the drug store
For a rose as real as life

Nice work, lyrics are even poetical, but stay within a song-form context.Pretty g'tar flowing in tha background. Tha backup vocals at end are a nice fade out... c):~)

This one got my attention. I especially like the line about the yellow M&Ms. I'm not sure if an award or therapy is the appropriate response. Maybe that 's why it got my attention. Now I'm pressing play again, so, here we go . . . . even better the second time. *You have originality in spades here my friend !!!*
