Omar Rodríguez-López
The Iron Rose
[Chorus]
You're the one that I want
The only one that I want
You're the one that I want
The only one that I want
[Verse 1]
All these forgeries perched upon my shoulders
Maybe they will go away
These wires get crossed holding cables that are frayed
Let 'em hang
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Ten thousand phantoms rushed through me
And I know I'll regret it
If you have watched me mid-eclipse
Then you should know that it's not safe inside my mind
[Chorus]
You'rе the one that I want
The only onе that I want (I want)
You're the one that I want
The only one that I want (I want)
[Post-Chorus]
Maybe I am cold and mirrorless, maybe I'm caught in the cold
[Verse 2]
Every time you let me, I can look down the needle's eye
I never wanted to fail, but I always fail
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Ten thousand fathoms underneath
Can you feel my hands? Oh
Watchin' me close to endless sleep
Then you should know that it's not safe inside my mind
[Chorus]
You're the one that I want
The only one that I want
Mercy in the crosshairs, let me go
You're the one that I want (Oh-oh)
The only one that I want (Oh-oh)
Mercy in the crosshairs, let me go
You're the one that I want (Oh-oh)
The only one that I want (Oh-oh)
Mercy in the crosshairs, let me go
You're the one that I want (Oh-oh)
The only one that I want (Oh-oh)
Mercy in the crosshairs, let me go
[Post-Chorus]
Maybe I am cold and mirrorless
Maybe I'm caught in the cold
