Sub Rosa

Sub rosa, feeling crushed by your weight
In the dark there’s no more give and take
When it’s over
The light brings full exposure
Like carrying a weight
Sub rosa, you pick your flowers from the store
After dark the truth washes ashore
Culminating
I know there’s
No more waiting
Like carrying a weight
But you’re holding up a flower
Like carrying a weight
But you’re holding up a flower
Sub rosa, getting carried away
Petals burnt, plant the ashes you save
When it’s over
The light brings full exposure
I know that
When it’s over
I need your full disclosure
Like carrying a weight
But you’re holding up a flower
Like carrying a weight
But you’re holding up a flower
Like carrying a weight (When it’s over)
But you’re holding up a flower (When it’s over)
Like carrying a weight (When it’s over)
But you’re holding up a flower (When it’s over)
