​lilies
Look at all those lilies there must be fucking hundreds
The choruses of frogs were croaking through our car window
I think we're leaving or just crossing the country
Grabbed a couple scrunchies just in case our hair grows long
We were going to vermont you could see the stars above us
I swore that they were brighter or maybe it was just a phone
In the bed reflected on the window my cousin died that night but
We wouldn't hear about it till morning
You and i were meeting i could see you in the mirror
Suns already down, its been getting warmer
I think I’m getting warmer, wish that i was glowing
Wish i was mother nature its a funny thing to want i know
She was a tough kid
She never finished high school
Never went to college just started setting shit on fire
That's what her parents told the PTA addicted to books and satan
Nobody cared to hear her songs
I guess that i dunno exactly what I’m saying
Oh I wanna send everyone to space right now
You’ll be so goddamn pretty like the stars and
Be looking down at everything so far away so far away

I will get a job again i’ll stop doing all this teenage shit
You will never hear from me but you will be proud of me
I’ll leave this awful rabbit hole that took away my sympathy
I will bring the seasons back even if it kills me
