[Lyric] Throwing Roses (Time & Pressure)

I don’t know why
The world never loved you back
After everything you gave
You were born again
But never pulled from the depths
Drowning while singing that you’re saved
And it’s easy to hide your tears
When you’re still sinking
And you can always keep your
Eyes closed tight
And pretend you’re only blinking

A golden heart just adds more weight
And pulls you further below
Until you give up that part of yourself
That still treads water when you’re halfway down
You give yourself away to
Those who’d rather walk across the water
Than extend an arm to bring you to the surface
I’ve witnessed all my life
You throwing roses to
Calloused hands
Ready to pull the petals off
The moment you begin to bloom
Do you ever pray for gold to rust?
Do you ever wish that thorns can kill?
I do
You call to God to protect you from harm
But prayers don’t float from halfway down
