Lilac Lyrics

Like a thread

Around your neck

Writing cheques

You'll never spend

Featherweight

The way you bend

To sedate

To make amends

For years and years you light the way

Four years to burn away that pain

And there is nothing left to take

This weight

Cast your bets

Let it shift

Shed your skin

Chrysalis

You try to mend

You try again

Time for time

And never end

For years and years you light the way

Four years to burn away that pain

And there is nothing left to take

This weight

Heavy rain close to home

Skin is gaunt, lilac, chrome

There's something in the water

On my way home

Something in the water

Oh, I was wrong
