Feelings of melancholy Bittersweet like tangerines I breathe it in, I soak it up I let it flow all over me In a bed of roses and thorns I lay lustful nights and sunny days so fondly in my memory The thorns are sharp but wounds will heal The roses smell of orange peel The freshness fills the pores in my skin It runs through my veins, makes me glow within It lifts me up, so I can walk with grace I think of the future with a smile on my face
