Pocket Full of Posies

Around the rosey we dance,
Around the rosey we prance,
Ashes, ashes,
Down we fall.

Down we fall.

In an afraid world,
a lifeless, colorless world,
down we fall.

Tired eyes,
exhausted with lies,
down we fall.

Try to be beautiful,
try to be kind,
down we fall.

The love is strained,
the hurt is strong,
down we fall.

Ashes and all.
