lyrics

LILY’S LAMENT

I want to expel inner angst
Let it fly beyond my reach
I want to play a concertina
Breathe a passion of tunes

Ripples of notes pulsating
I want to cry a wail of tears
Screeching from my soul
Reaching out to touch you

CHORUS

A shiver down my spine
Spirits congregated somewhere on high
The old man in the moon had forgotten to rise
Nightfall played a symphony to let tomorrow shine
Let it shine

I want to hold and hug you
To meld as one eternally
I want to lose this distortion
Finding clarity out of dark

To hear a happier silence
Trust placed upon a wishing star
A trickle of lament came calling
Isolation steals time's motivation

CHORUS

My innocence thrives within fear
As I gaze into night's galaxy of awe
Flounder not for you are not alone
There's prosper in your repair..
