Yellow Rose - Pythia

Spring time, that’s the way it goes

Don’t forget we stole everything and nothing from the earth

Winter, came to us in time

Shadows and thought crimes

Don’t display the colours of your birth

Didn’t they tear you down my yellow rose?

Didn’t they baby?

Didn’t they poison everything that grows?

Didn’t they baby?

And when the summer ends, I feel you next to me

I sense your tethered limbs still longing to be free

My yellow rose

I could say it’s not like that but memory betrays

Everyone who dares to speak too soon

I would tell you about it but I can’t reason with

The tiny child within my past

And when the summer ends, I feel you next to me

I sense your tethered limbs still longing to be free

And with each winter’s breath I see you in my dreams

I know without your death I never can be free

Hold it down and keep it together

Hold it down, it can’t be forever

Memory betrays anyone who dares to speak too soon
