I grab a pen and write it out.

Just a kid who couldn't shout.

Couldn't open up her mouth.

Couldn't say what life's about.

Sketched out skulls among the roses.

The beauties walking with the posers.

The fire mixing in with the frozen.

The world beneath my feet corroded.

Gaze up to watch the clock.

Time's running out with a tick and a tock,

Can feel opportunity slipping away.

No God to believe in, and yet I still pray.

Innocence gone when we get older.

Try to warm up, but we just get colder.

A guy can't have love, but he just wants to hold her.

A girl wants to cry, but where is his shoulder?

Sketched out skulls among the roses.

The beauties walking with the posers.

The fire mixing in with the frozen.

The world beneath my feet corroded.

Some kid's crying softly to himself.

Cracked picture frames up on the shelf.

A family broken apart by a fist.

And the kid tries to hide the scars on his wrist.

A woman gets by with a smile.

She stays at his house for a little while.

He pays her cash for time well spent.

She spends it on her kids and the rent.

Sketched out skulls among the roses.

The beauties walking with the posers.

The fire mixing in with the frozen.

The world beneath my feet corroded.

You just keep on walking till you run out of time.

Try to survive, but it's the end of the line.

This evil world will still go on,

even long after our souls are gone.

It's like a beautiful rose with its thorns.

A nice pair of shoes, but the soles are all worn.

Like every thing you've ever had;

Our world is filled with the good and the bad.

Sketched out skulls among the roses.

The beauties walking with the posers.

The fire mixing in with the frozen.

The world beneath my feet corroded.

The world beneath my feet corroded.
