That thorny twisted piece of nature
That is always there
That haunting figment of life
That causes total despair
Weaving in and around your life
Like a parasite
It's starting to take control
You have to stand up and fight

The Black Rose wants you to cry
The Black Rose wants you to die
The Black Rose yearns for your anguish
The Black Rose wants you to perish

The Black Rose commands your actions
As if you were a slave
Die with this evil force and it'll
Follow you to your grave
You can't heal your scars
So your heart will continue to bleed
It just grows stronger and taller
Like an eternal weed

Life being extracted from
Your very heart and soul
Leaving but emptiness
To fill that dark hole
This Black Rose does not feed
On water, sunlight, or soil
'Cause it indulges in your
Mournfulness and turmoil

Finally an answer emerges
To end these fears
A special person whom you love
Can wipe away your tears
But no one wants to love someone
Who has all of this pain
So the Black Rose will continue
To drive you insane

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
