Rose Flag

[Verse 1]
It had begun to take hold
The shadows grew longer and colder
Somehow I felt so much older back then

I’d drift in and out of a dream
Losing the line in between them
Waking to find I’d have no idea where I was

[Pre Chorus 1]
Fragments of memories, allies and enemies
Trying to catch my breath, summon the energy to
Keep climbing on, it has get easier at some point

[Chorus]
I made this mistake on my own terms
At least I can say that I tried
You externalised my inner demons
I think it’s time

[Verse 2]
It all came together at once
I opened my eyes to a stranger
I couldn’t hold on
Something was calling my name

[Pre Chorus 2]
Suddenly off the edge I go, backward overhead
The rain begins turn and fall upwards instead
Gravity start to tear trees out of the ground
Below I see the sunset and realise I’m found

No time was lost on this journey together
No harm was done though our pilgrimage has ended
Finally there were no choices left to be made
We will surely see this as we age

[Chorus 2]
We made this mistake on our own terms
At least we can say that we tried
We externalised our inner demons
I think it’s time

I’ll always remember your kindness
The pain and the guilt will subside
We gave our best shot and we missed by a mile
I don’t mind
I think it’s time
