Lyrics Ken Ashcorp – Black Lily
Text:
Why don’t you tell me
What exactly I did wrong?
I’m open to the bones
And all these flowers
Replaced with stones
Looking at the two-way mirrors
White chapels and white walls
Fade away to dreams
Looking at the white veil falling
The promises we made
The promises we’ll keep
They set fire to the forest
Hoping they would catch the bear
I’m as guilty as they promised
All the lilies did turn black
As we weathered out the storm
Keep me safe
And keep me warm
Why won’t you tell me?
Why won’t you talk to me at all?
Your face stuck to your phone
So we’re black lilies
Well we’ll still grow without the sun
No, we won’t be alone
We walled our hearts off to them
Those petty high school calls
Fade away to dreams
Looking at the white veil falling
The promises we made
They set fire to the forest
Hoping they would catch the bear
I’m as guilty as they promised
All the lilies did turn black
As we weathered out the storm
Keep me safe
And keep me warm
(Oooooaaaaah)
They set fire to the forest
They set fire to the forest
They set fire to the forest
They set fire to the forest
They set fire to the forest (Aaaah)
I’m as guilty as they promised (Aaaah)
All the lilies did turn black
As we weathered out the storm
Keep me safe
‘N keep me warm
