lyrics

You’re a ghost to me
I’m not immune to you
But I am armed now
With all the courage that I needed

Guess I knew it then
We can cement it now
Your so good at being familiar

We’ve all been scarred playing somebody’s fool
Held down, tied up
By somebody’s rules

And the tiny knives
That you stick in my side
Well they may hurt
Pain is beauty
Beauty’s in the eye of the beholder
And I crossed my heart
But I won’t let it die
I’ll move on now
Your a novice not a teacher
I don’t believe you
Cuz everyone lies
To get what they want to get what they want
We’ve all been scarred playing somebody’s fool
Held down tied up
By somebody’s rules

I don’t believe you
Cuz everyone lies

To get what they want, to get what they want
I don’t believe you.....

We’ve all been scarred playing somebody’s fool
Held down tied up
By somebody’s rules
Held down tied up
By somebody’s rules

The rare tree, nicknamed “rose of the west,” manages to prevail over the severe climate, opening its beauty to those who seek it. It’s in this image that Gina Barrington found solace and inspiration for her band.

Rose Of The West is dream pop with a dark side. ... more
