Black Lily

Why don't you tell me what exactly I did wrong?
I'm open to the bones
And all these flowers you trampled in the garden
Replaced with stones
Looking at the two-way mirrors
White chapels and white walls fade away to dreams
Looking at the white veil falling
The promises we made
The promises we'll keep
They set fire to the forest
Hoping they would catch the bear
I'm as guilty as they promised
All the lilies did turn black as we weathered out the storm
Keep me safe
Keep me warm
Why won't you tell me?
Why won't you talk to me at all?
Your face stuck to your phone
So we're black lilies
Well we'll still grow without the sun
No, we won't be alone
We walled our hearts off to them
Those petty high school calls fade away to dreams
Looking at the white veil falling
The promises we made
The promises we'll keep
They set fire to the forest
Hoping they would catch the bear
I'm as guilty as they promised
All the lilies did turn black as we weathered out the storm
Keep me safe
Keep me warm
They set fire to the forest
They set fire to the forest
They set fire to the forest
They set fire to the forest
They set fire to the forest
I'm as guilty as they promised
All the lilies did turn black as we weathered out the storm
Keep me safe
Keep me warm
