Granny

I kept a rose bush

Over the hope I meet you soon

Darkness met your tomb as I close your box


I drop a rose and it’s stain with dirt

My tears flow and water the dry dirt

Oh, if I could carve you off that dirt


I kept a rose bush

So I lean in and smell it when it blooms

I care about it when ride the street we fight through


I cry over the times I met your soul

My God knows I still think of you on earth

If I could see you once more, it could pain me more


Your screaming made my ears hurt

Our feelings make our minds broke

Oh, but I hate you see you walk out that door


I kneel besides you

I hear your lungs full

They will get empty soon


It pains me knowing this is the last time

God knows why he did it this time

Oh, go, for the life goes, I still have a life
