Lyrics:
Break when the day's full of light
But it makes me feel better, when the windows are bright
And hey, I know that it's cold, but it makes me feel better when I do it alone
The better days ahead, only better when you're dead and you're dead
And you're dreaming in gold, you're desperate when you're bold
I just smell roses and roses and roses
Hey, hey
And I know that it's wrong
Let's just get along
I just see roses and roses and roses
Hey, hey
And it makes me feel better
INTERLUDE
When the evenings get slow, we'll put on a show
And it'll be roses and roses and roses
Hush, you're crossing the line
To a world that is mine and mine and mine
Take all your roses
Heyy
I know that it's wrong
Let's just get along
I just see roses
I smell roses and roses and roses
Take back your roses, roses and roses and roses
I don't need your roses
Artist's Statement/Commentary:
“ROLL CREDITS” is about wanting love but pushing it away when it gets close. It just feels like the walls are closing in but running away makes me feel better. When someone loves me but beauty standards make me feel that my blackness makes me unlovable. My horns are the demonization of my afro — my beautiful, sparkly horns.
