The track ‘Charcoal Roses’ is a poetic story I think we can all relate to. It was inspired by a guy who I had known for years and no matter what, every time I saw him, he got under my skin…in a good way of course!

I like the idea that the Devil is a hidden character and he makes things appear a certain way, but, in reality, they are totally different. It was sort of a warning song to myself that you shouldn’t get in too deep with someone before you really know what they are like, or who they are as a person.

The video was a chance for me to perform and express my dramatic side…for those of you who don’t know me, hopefully this shows my personality a bit.

LYRICS

The Devil came to my house today & he scared my soul away,
He gave me a dozen roses, a dozen charcoal roses,
Love is a battlefield, just a war on what you feel,
Even though I look like falling, don’t put dirt on my grave just yet!

Sitting by that pickett fence, tryin’ to figure out my best defence,
As you walk past, I’m smiling; even though, inside I’m dying.
You come sit next to me & I can barely breath,
Your scent is so appealing & The Devil is asking me what I’m feeling.

I, I, I, I don’t know what to say, you’re a temptation, yes a temptation & you made me feel this way, I open the door to you, an illusion & I let you walk on through.

The Devil came to my house today & he scared my soul away,
He gave me a dozen roses, a dozen charcoal roses,
Love is a battlefield, just a war on what you feel,
Even though I look like falling, don’t put dirt on my grave just yet!

& I, I, I, I, I, I, your eyes are like fire, they turn my heart to cinders.
You, you, you, you, you, you, you don’t know what you do, you’re a smoking gun & you’re loaded!

He gave me a feather quill & his blood for ink,
I signed on the dotted line, no I did not think,
I pull the pin on this grenade, you continue with this charade, no one can save me…

The devil came to my house today & he scared my soul away,
He gave me a dozen roses, a dozen charcoal roses,
Love is a battlefield, just a war on what you feel,
Even though I look like falling, don’t put dirt on my grave just yet!
