Y.K. Music - Black Lily

You appeared a shadow in the brightest day
Like a picture sketched in rain that fades away
I was searching in the crowd till I could barely stand
Then you stood right at my doorway, silent and command

Your eyes are two deep lakes, no bottom to be found
I look in them and know that I'm the one who'd drown
You brought the frozen chill of northern seas to shore
I tried to give you warmth, but I burned to the core

Your quiet whisper sounds like thunder
Like a sentence read
I'm the one who built this prison
Built this home we dread
The walls are closing in but I don't want to flee
'Cause outside there is nothing but in here you're with me

You, my black flower, a lily in my hands
Your velvet petals drink the fear I can't withstand
And I don't know what's real or just a game you play
Your arms a sweet lace poison, not the heat of day

You, my black flower, I'm your gardener, I'm your foe
I nurture you each day so I can't let you go
With you, I'm dying, but without you, I am ash and gloom
I'm yours forever, you're my incurable rose

My incurable rose
You're my incurable rose
My incurable rose

We're dancing our waltz on this broken glass below
And every single movement leaves a scar upon my soul
My friends all say get out, just run and don't look back
But your gaze holds me tighter than a ledge about to crack

I breathe you in, your honey mixed with a wormwood's bite
I willingly accept this guilty, sweet delight
You taught me how to see the stars inside the dark
But they're just broken pieces, falling embers, just a spark

Your quiet whisper sounds like thunder
Like a sentence read
I'm the one who built this prison
Built this home we dread
The walls are closing in but I don't want to flee
'Cause outside there is nothing but in here you're with me

You, my black flower, a lily in my hands
Your velvet petals drink the fear I can't withstand
And I don't know what's real or just a game you play
Your arms a sweet lace poison, not the heat of day

You, my black flower, I'm your gardener, I'm your foe
I nurture you each day so I can't let you go
With you, I'm dying, but without you, I am ash and gloom
I'm yours forever, you're my incurable rose

I could burn all the photos and the letters that you sent
I could run to the edges of the continent
But how can I escape from my own self
When all your roots are tangled deep inside of me?

Not for a season
Forever
I close my eyes
And all I see is you

You, my black flower, a lily in my hands
Your velvet petals drink the fear I can't withstand
And I don't know what's real or just a game you play
Your arms a sweet lace poison, not the heat of day

You, my black flower, I'm your gardener, I'm your foe
I nurture you each day so I can't let you go
With you, I'm dying, but without you, I am ash and gloom
I'm yours forever, you're my incurable rose

Black lily
My rose
