I have seen your body
and I have seen
your beauty
They are separate things
Pretty pretty
pretty things
But I am in a garden
tending to my own
So what do I care
And what do you care
if I grow
oh If I grow
Roses roses
roses roses roses
Show no concern
for colors of a violet
Lotus lotus
lotus lotus lotus
Hopes it won't spark
envy in your irises
Think of all
the wilted women
who crane their necks
to reach a window
Mhm ripping all their
petals off just 'cause
He loves me now
he loves me not
I myself was
a wilted woman
drowsy in a dark room
Forgot my roots
now watch me bloom
Roses roses
roses roses roses
Show no concern
for colors of a violet
Lotus lotus
lotus lotus lotus
Hopes it won't spark
envy in your irises
Irises
And I will not compare
other beauty to mine
And I will not become
a thorn in my own side
And I will not return
to where I once was
Well I can break
through the earth
Come out soft and wild
Roses roses
roses roses roses
Show no concern
for colors of a violet
Lotus lotus
lotus lotus lotus
Hopes it won't spark
envy in your irises
Roses roses roses roses
Roses roses roses roses
Roses roses roses roses
Roses roses roses
roses roses
