lilacs

I wake up feeling nothing, camouflage the wavering sky
I sit at my piano, wander the wild whereby
And the lilacs drink the water
And the lilacs die
And the lilacs drink the water
Marking the slow, slow, slow passing of time

I get so angry baby, at something you might say
I dream about an awful stranger, work my way through the day
I run it like a silent movie
I run it like a violent song
I run it like a voice compelling
So right it cant be wrong
If Im a broken record, run it in the dust babe
Ill fill myself back up like I used to do
And if my bones are made of delicate sugar
I wont end up anywhere good without you
I need your love too

When I live a sparse existence, Ill drop down in the fold
Lean in to an urgent falter, spin silence into gold
I run it like the crop of kismet
I run it like a dilettante
I run it like Im happy baby
Like I got everything I want
If Im a broken record, run it in the dust babe
Ill fill myself back up like I used to do
And if my bones are made of delicate sugar
I wont end up anywhere good without you
I wont end up anywhere good without you
I need your love too

And the lilacs drink the water
And the lilacs drink the water
And the lilacs drink the water
