TRACK DETAILS Matt Davies wrote this song about the death of one of his close friends. In an issue of Kerrang! magazine in an interview he said he saw everyone else grieving and felt weird because he wasn't crying, and he just took everything in. Matt Davies on Roses for the Dead: "A heavy song, but not in the way metal is typically considered to be "heavy" . This is about the death of close friends; I saw my friends and family all grieving but I didn't know how to react. I felt odd because I wasn't crying, I sat there and took it all in. I wanted to pay tribute to the memory of those people, who I missed so much, and to express that" In the album booklet it says: "Dedicated to the memory of Lianne Davies and Lloyd Bird, eternally loved and never forgotten" LYRICS Just to say we're sorry, For the black eyes and bleeding lips. And it's hard to forget How many lies we've told. Or how old we'd grow, Before I said goodbye. So let's scrape our knees on the playground. It's not your fault, You feel okay. It's too late in the day. It's not your fault, You feel betrayed. You can't come out to play. I never listened to a word you never said. I never listened to a word you never said. Wasting the hours now, We're all suckers for tragedies. And start this over again, And you bring us to our knees. As sunrise comes, And the story will sell, A few hundred papers, So we'll follow you up. It's not your fault, You feel okay. It's too late in the day. It's not your fault, You feel betrayed. You can't come out to play. I never listened to a word you never said. I never listened to a word you never said. So raise your hands up high, And let this rain pour on. So raise your hands up high, And wash us away. Like innocence and childbirth, You look just like your mother And you look just like your father. Forgive him our father, Your son is smiling, So lay roses around you.
