blood & lilac Lyrics

See you in blood and lilac

Bitten lips, bruised hips

Cold kind of love that I grew up with

Warmth from the smoke

Wrapped up in lies and black leather coats

You turn dark after a drink

You get harsh, and ready to swing

I write poetry out of the corner of my eye

And I see you

In blood and lilac

At the same time

This is the curse

Are you broken, unholy

I'll hold you closely so slowly

And love you through the worst

Wrapped up in lies of liquor and hope

You turn dark after a drink

Put the joint out on my ribs

I write poetry out of the corner of my eye

And I see you

In blood and lilac

In blood and lilac

In blood and lilac

At the same time
