[Verse 1]
Purple and scarred
It's the color that will be on my heart, my heart, my heart
When you are done and dusting with me
I fall apart when I wash your touches off of my skin, my skin, my skin
I know you're tired of sticking to me
[Chorus]
Why am I deep in black roses?
Dateless doses
I'm falling victim to black roses
[Verse 2]
You've got a diamond desire
Gonna step into the blue fire
Touching your lips with my skin
I'm on another level
I can't let go
Sat in the garden of sin, like an angel with the dirty wings
Tainted by tastes of the soul, this is another level
I need to know
[Chorus]
Why am I deep in black roses?
Dateless doses
I'm falling victim to black roses
Black roses, black roses
I'm falling victim to black roses
[Bridge]
You're turning me off
Out of phase and into focus you keep turning me on
You're turning me on, you're turning me off
[Breakdown]
Black roses, going down down down
Black roses, going down down down
Black roses, going down down down
Black roses, black roses
[Chorus]
Deep in black roses
Dateless doses
I'm falling victim to black roses
Black roses, black roses
I'm falling victim to black roses
Black roses, black roses
I'm falling victim to black roses
Black roses, black roses, black roses
Purple and scarred
It's the color that will be on my heart, my heart, my heart
When you are done and dusting with me
I fall apart when I wash your touches off of my skin, my skin, my skin
I know you're tired of sticking to me
[Chorus]
Why am I deep in black roses?
Dateless doses
I'm falling victim to black roses
[Verse 2]
You've got a diamond desire
Gonna step into the blue fire
Touching your lips with my skin
I'm on another level
I can't let go
Sat in the garden of sin, like an angel with the dirty wings
Tainted by tastes of the soul, this is another level
I need to know
[Chorus]
Why am I deep in black roses?
Dateless doses
I'm falling victim to black roses
Black roses, black roses
I'm falling victim to black roses
[Bridge]
You're turning me off
Out of phase and into focus you keep turning me on
You're turning me on, you're turning me off
[Breakdown]
Black roses, going down down down
Black roses, going down down down
Black roses, going down down down
Black roses, black roses
[Chorus]
Deep in black roses
Dateless doses
I'm falling victim to black roses
Black roses, black roses
I'm falling victim to black roses
Black roses, black roses
I'm falling victim to black roses
Black roses, black roses, black roses
