Lily Lyrics

The townsfolk teased her usually about her mother

Her hair, her health, and especially her weight

Last refuge, the two of them shared half a trailer

Without a father, a playground, or a yard to play

They didn't go shopping at normal stores

Dine, or seek fun outside the trailer

They were cold in winter, they were hot in the summer

Slept hungry and always seemed to ailing

Life leads to pain, but pain builds acumen

Pain it is miserable but still a loyal friend

When we're lonely, it reminds us of past memories

At night it visits us while we're laying in our beds

She was breaking down, after her mother's passing

Some paid their service, and some brought compassion

They couldn't fill all the holes, but they held pieces together

And they gave her many years, more than that of her mother

In oversized shoes, her favorite shirt

And her back pack of rags, she escaped that park

She set out to find a place in the world

But she didn't have to go far to first leave her mark

In the same weary town where she'd bled all those tears

She built more defenses with help at her side

Her mother's simplicity, that once brought her smears

Has built a strong woman, fueled her vigor and pride

Life leads to pain, but pain builds acumen

Pain it is miserable but still a loyal friend

When we're lonely, it reminds us of past memories

At night it visits us while we're laying in our beds

Her Inspiration comes from pain, like novel tones from broken bells

Her clarity comes from rejection, like clearer water from deeper wells

Her scars and blemishes glow, her engine runs loud

It all makes her a better person than the people of that town

Life leads to pain, but pain builds acumen

Pain it is miserable but still a loyal friend

When we're lonely, it reminds us of past memories

At night it visits us while we're laying in our beds

Her Inspiration comes from pain, like novel tones from broken bells

Her clarity comes from rejection, like clearer water from deeper wells

Her scars and blemishes glow, her engine runs loud

It all makes her a better person than the people of that town

Life leads to pain, but pain builds acumen

Pain it is miserable but still a loyal friend

When we're lonely, it reminds us of past memories

At night it visits us while we're laying in our beds
