lyrics

SUB ROSA
Best to bend with wind,
go with the flow from within —
lost bets and past regrets
are nothing less than death.
Don't you worry now,
because it's only natural —
stalking quietly,
until it owns your soul.

Come, sub rosa:
nothing but a killer's secret shadow.
Oh sub rosa:
won't you go today,
and come tomorrow?

When your life is flashing
right before your eyes,
I hope it's worth watching
all the boring times.
Hear the clock and chime
and know it's only natural —
don't be sorry,
time will always own your soul.

Come, sub rosa:
nothing but a killer's secret shadow.
Oh, sub rosa:
won't you go today,
and come tomorrow?

Oh so quietly,
ever so slyly,
never blatantly but surreptitiously:
until gracefully,
single-handedly
it owns your soul.
