Two
One, two, three, four
The only girl Ive ever loved
Was born with roses in her eyes
But then they buried her alive
One evening 1945
With just her sister at her side
And only weeks before the guns
All came and rained on everyone
Now shes a little boy in Spain
Playing pianos filled with flames
On empty rings around the sun
All sing to say my dream has come
But now we must pick up every piece
Of the life we used to love
Just to keep ourselves
At least enough to carry on
And now we ride the circus wheel
With your dark brother wrapped in white
Says it was good to be alive
But now he rides a comets flame
And wont be coming back again
The earth looks better from a star
Thats right above from where you are
He didnt mean to make you cry
With sparks that ring and bullets fly
On empty rings around your heart
The world just screams and falls apart
But now we must pick up every piece
Of the life we used to love
Just to keep ourselves
At least enough to carry on
And heres where your mother sleeps
And here is the room where your brothers were born
Indentions in the sheets
Where their bodies once moved but dont move anymore
And its so sad to see the world agree
That theyd rather see their faces fill with flies
All when Id want to keep white roses in their eyes
