lyrics

tossed out and forgotten,
the rose of jericho
curled, browned and dried
left for dead, left to die
telepathy has led me into the burning sky
tonight your tears are mine
in this altered state of mind

love and pain are the same
mystery
unfolding always
tomorrow i may die a thousand times
but i hope you don't forget this state of mind

open up, black hole
and bloom like the rose of jericho

this tumbleweed has shriveled
and drifted far from home
but open clouds conspire
to resurrect the rose
as this sorrow surges,
lightning touches down
your heartbreak matches mine
in this altered state of mind

satisfied
why cant i?
history -
repeating always
life and death somehow they are the same
but it's hard to see the storm through all the rain

open up black hole
bloom like the rose of jericho
humble me and help me to let go

when you feel, i feel
when i feel you can tell
cause we're on the level
the rain filled the gutter
and then the gutter fell
but we're on the level

now the rose is breathing
stretched out in the water
it was you who brought it in
so it could live again
as you do for me
i will do for you
your happiness is mine in this altered state of mind

love and pain are the same
mystery
repeating, unfolding
you may never die a thousand times
but i hope you don't forget this state of mind

open up black hole,
and bloom like the rose of jericho
