VERSE 1 Lyin’ from the couch and Fading in the bedroom Walkin’ just to run and Hoping I don’t fall through Taken by the hand And I don’t even know you Saw you from afar The pain it just worsens They’re sayin’ it’s a mistake But what’s the fuckin’ purpose? Now if you feel the same Come and break these pieces from me! CHORUS Ah Ah, ah ooh ah Ah Ah ah ooh ah Ah ah ooh ah Ah ah ohh Woah ooh oh ooh oh! VERSE 2 Lyin’ on the couch Fading from the bedroom Walkin’ just to run Hoping I don’t fall through Taken by the hand And I don’t even know your name Saw you from afar But now I know for certain They said it was a mistake But now I know the purpose And if you feel the same Then come and take these pieces from me! CHORUS Ah Ah, ah ooh ah Ah Ah ah ooh ah Ah ah ooh ah Ah ah ohh Woah ooh oh ooh oh!

Gone 03:42
VERSE 1 Yes I know you’re gone You’re like a wave that never comes You’re like a sun that never shines If I could see you, I’d go blind And I know you’re gone You’re like a wave that never comes You’re like a sun that never shines, then you’re gone VERSE 2 Yeah I love hate you And everything that you will do It’s like you’re running out of luck It’s like you don’t give a fuck And I know you’re gone You’re like a wave that never comes You’re like a sun that never shines, then you’re gone CHORUS 1 So your side ain’t painless, yeah I know I liked it here but I can’t stay, I know SOLO VERSE 3 Yes I know you’re gone You’re like a wave that never comes You’re like a sun that never shines If I could see you, I’d go blind And I know you’re gone You’re like a wave that never comes You’re like a sun that never shines, then you’re gone CHORUS 2 So my mind keeps changin’, yeah I know I liked it here but I can’t stay, I know You shouldn’t throw what you can’t take, bye now

VERSE 1 I hope you love me more Than I’ve let you down And I hope I’ve made you smile More than I’ve made you frown PRE-CHORUS But the fact that I don’t know says more about how REFRAIN I hope you love me more than I’ve let you down VERSE 2 I don’t know why I feel so sore From all the times you’ve let me down Guess it’s from bein’ tossed, turned Burned, then tricked and kicked around PRE-CHORUS And now you wanna know Just how I’m feeling now REFRAIN Of course I love you more Than you’ve ever let me down VERSE 3 But that don’t mean anything ‘til you’ve Picked up this mess we’re in PRE-CHORUS ‘Cause now I wanna know just what you’re doing now REFRAIN To show you love me more Than you’ve ever let me down

Fear 04:22
VERSE 1 Safe today Not to say tomorrow’s gonna be one Razor blade Mirrors always ‘round when you see one I know you’re to blame The thought of it’s a fuckin’ shame VERSE 2 Far away As close as you could ever find me So you say Love is somethin’ you cannot see I know who you are Your attitude won’t get you far PRE-CHORUS I know you will never find me ‘Cause I know I won’t let you find me Oh no CHORUS It’s the fear that pulls you under Fear that pulls you under, under It’s the fear that pulls you under Fear that pulls you under, under SOLO VERSE 3 Safe today Not to say tomorrow’s gonna be one Razor blade Mirrors always ‘round when you see one I know you’re to blame The thought of it’s a fuckin’ shame VERSE 4 Far away As close as you could ever find me So you say Love is somethin’ you cannot see I know who you are Your attitude won’t get you far PRE-CHORUS I know you will never find me ‘Cause I know I won’t let you find me Oh no CHORUS It’s the fear that pulls you under Fear that pulls you under, under It’s the fear that pulls you under Fear that pulls you under, under OUTRO Fear that pulls you (ah) Pulls you under (ah) Pulls you under (ooh)

Friends 04:25
VERSE 1 Pseudo Shadow people Nameless Flying seagulls Here to feast While you’re feeble Oh! Oh! CHORUS 1 Big Brother’s got an eye on both baysides Now I know he’s got somethin’ on me And Uncle Sammy’s packin’ heat, water on his feet And he told me he’s ready to die SOLO VERSE 2 I see a scandal By the water hole Zeroes and ones Casting stones CHORUS 2 The invisible guy on both baysides Now I know he’s got somethin’ on me And the invisible hand with a gun and a plan And I know he can never leave BRIDGE Dirty water for your veins Potted flora for your brain All this fauna to fawn over We’re not yours, I thought I told ya SOLO Take a look at my friends Take a look at my friends

about

The Mirror’s Always Round EP by Of The Roses showcases the duo’s knack for weaving stylized indie rock riffs and pop songwriting; hear the power Britpop of “Fear” and “Gone,” the bounciness of Motown-inspired guitar accents on the shoegaze-y “I Hope You Love Me More,” and the heavy grooves of “Falling Through (Ah)” and “Friends.” Together, Serenity Autumn and Josh Delarosa create a striking palette embraced by a powerful rhythm section.
