There are times when we feel unable to change the path our life is taking, trapped in a web of circumstances beyond our control and the key to our happiness seems always to be just out of reach. Nothing is as certain as change and as there are changes for the worse, there will also be changes for the better and the key to happiness begins with positive thinking.

I dedicate 'Ten Black Roses' to SandraPascuini and Mirencity. To Sandra for her support and for being a very special and kind deviant artist and to Mirencity also for her support and kindness and for demonstrating the power of positive thinking. Thank you both

Edit 28/01/10: Fixed foot, water, brightened candle and key, added hilights to skull and hourglass and more texture to shadows.

TEN BLACK ROSES
[link]
Life is like a boat in the bottle
Try to sail, You can't with no air
Day by day it only gets harder
Try to scream but nobody cares
Through the glass you see the same faces
Hear their voices fade like they drown
When your life's a boat in a bottle
You're surrounded, drifting alone.
Don't leave me now
Stay another day
With me.
When you're sad, and no one knows it
I'll send you black roses
When your heart's dark and frozen
I'll send you black roses.
Far away we wait for each other
I'm still on that road to nowhere
Kiss yourself for me in the mirror
Tie a black rose into your hair.
Don't lose your faith
Share another night
With me.
When you're sad and no-one knows it
I'll send you black roses
When your heart's dark and frozen
I'll send you black roses.
Ten black roses
Ten black roses.
Life is like a boat in the bottle
Try to sail, you can't with no air
Day by day it only gets harder
Try to scream but nobody cares.
When you're sad, and no-one knows it
I'll send you black roses
When your heart's dark and frozen
I'll send you black roses.
Ten black roses.
