[Verse 1]
Hey petal, have you heard the news?
I just died so you wouldn’t want to
Hey petal, do you know?
Your eyes need more sleep, your skin looks like snow

[Pre-Chorus]
Petal, won't you work with me?
You're making it difficult and slow like honey
Petal, just please let go
Of everythin' and go to your funeral

[Chorus]
Lilac in my skin and in my shoes
We're dying today
Lilac in my skin and in my shoes
We're going away
And we don't see you anymore
You lost your chance, petal

[Verse 2]
Dear God, why am I this way?
I want to sleep the best each night and through each day
Dear God, can you go away?
I'm trying to help myself, you keep getting in the way
[Pre-Chorus]
Petal, don't you back out now
We went through so much
Petal, don't you shut yourself down
I’m startin' to need you now

[Chorus]
Lilac in my skin and in my shoes
We're dying today
Lilac in my skin and in my shoes
We're going away
And we don't see you anymore
You lost your chance, petal
You don't deserve it anymore
You lost your chance, petal
You're the lilac death
