* IMITATION ROSES *

VISION STINGS AND HALOS BREAK
FRICTION WILL EXPOSE THE FAKES

IMITATION ROSES x4

GENDER BENT SINCE THE DAY I WAS BORN
IT TOOK TORTURING YEARS TO LET IT SHOW
I'M LAST IN LINE FOR A WONDERFUL LIFE
I'LL BE WORKINF OUT FRUSTRATION TONIGHT

WON'T YOU, WON'T YOU GO AWAY

OH NO, I'M NOT LOST
I'LL FIND MY OWN REALITY
NO IMITATION ROSES
SOMEONE'S ALWAYS FAILING ME, SOMEONE'S ALWAYS FAILING ME

LOST ON THE WAY TO PERPETUAL BLISS
YOU BETTER DIE WITH STYLE IF YOU'RE GONNA MISS
I'M NOT AS CUTE AS YOU THINK YOU ARE
BUT RIGHT NOW HONEY, I'M THE STAR

VISION STINGS AND HALOS BREAK
FRICTION WILL EXPOSE THE FAKES

LOVE THE BAND WHEN SOMEONE DIES
RIDE THE TREND AT HIGH TIDE
FUCK THE SELF RIGHTEOUS, FUCK THE WANNA BES
I DON'T WANNA BE ANYBODY BUT ME
FUCK THE SELF RIGHTEOUS, FUCK THE WANNA BES
I CAN'T STAND BEING ME
LET'S OFFEND EVERYONE WE SEE, LET'S OFFEND EVERYONE WE SEE

THERE'S NO BEAUTY IT'S ALL LIES, IMITATION ROSES
