lilac (metamorphosis) ft. Germinates Lyrics

You stare at your foolish reflection

Who looks back at you, asking for grace

No visible movement occurring

But just underneath, in your mind, you're running a race

Thinking I swear I lack a secret ingredient of sorts

Wonder if it's lemon juice or lilac, a gallon or maybe two quarts

Sorting photographs on your phone

Metamorphosis comes right as soon as you think you're all grown

Lovely moments spent all alone

Reinvention, it comes right as soon as you start to feel known

You stare at the dreamscape before you

Who knew that chaos could move so slow

The time will come for April showers

And if you're not able to wait for the flowers

May the petrichor get you by in the darkest of hours

Thinking I swear I lack a secret ingredient of sorts

Wonder if it's gratitude or time back, a cryptic nonsensical sport

Sorting photographs on your phone

Metamorphosis comes right as soon as you think you're all grown

Lovely moments spent all alone

Reinvention, it comes right as soon as you start to feel known
