Petals Lyrics - Celebrity Skin - Hole

She's the angel on top of the tree 

Sugar heart, here she comes 

She's goin' to fall on me 

Innocence was our fire 

We told the truth 

I miss the sweet boys in the summer of their youth 

Tear the petals off of you 

Make you tell the truth 

Tear the petals off of you 

(You) 

Tear the petals off of you 

Make you tell the truth 

Tear the petals off of you 

(You) 

They will make you so 

So cynical 

The fire burns the flesh, destroy the past that made us old 

She's the grace of this world 

She's too pure 

For the likes of this world, this world is a whore 

Tear the petals off of you 

Make you tell the truth 

Tear the petals off of you 

(You) 

(La la la la) 

Tear the petals off of you 

Make you tell the truth 

Tear the petals off of you 

I wait till mine and 

Hey, it's all mine 

Hey, it's all mine 

Never knew what I could be 

All the darling buds of May, they fall with no sound 

They carry you down, they carry you down 

(Ooo, ooo) 

(Ooo, ooo) 

All the lilies bloomed and blossomed 

Wilted and they're shivering 

I can't stop their withering oh, this world is at war 

Tear the petals off of you 

Make you tell the truth 

Tear the petals off of you 

(You) 

(La la la la) 

Tear the petals off of you 

Make you tell the truth 

Tear the petals off of you 

(You) 

(La la la la) 

Tear the petals off of you 

Make you tell the truth 

Tear the petals off of you 

(You)
