You know perfectly well what I am saying
You know perfectly well it's not amazing
And somebody left you

And you have spent half of your life trying to hide it
And half of your life trying to deny it
That somebody left you

Now the fog is coming over Silver Lake
There is a feeling that, now, it's here to stay
I fell, from the winter, through the bottom of the sea
Surrendered in black lilies

You could never explain what you were feeling
So strong a cause and pull, it kept you reeling
But so much gets left unsaid

And I have been in awe of everything that surrounds you
And turning in circles all around you
But so much gets left unsaid

It's the look that you give when it is true
You cock your tongue back and scan the room
We burned through this world like it was soaked in kerosene
And surrendered in black lilies.
