Lily of the Water

Pitch black, pale blue 

There was a stained glass, variation of the truth 

And I felt empty handed

You let me set sail, with cheap wood

So I patched up every leak that I could

Till the blame grew too heavy 

Stage by stage, I tear apart 

If brokenness is a form of art I must be a poster child prodigy 

Thread by thread I come apart 

If brokenness is a work of art surely this must be my masterpiece 

I’m only honest when it rains

  If I time it right, the thunder breaks when I open my mouth 

I wanna tell you but I don’t know how

I’m only honest when it rains

An open book, with a torn out page and my inks run out 

I wanna love you but I don’t know how

I don’t know how

No I don’t know how 

I don’t know how

I wanna love you but I don’t know how 

I don’t know how

I wanna love you but I don’t know how

I wanna love you but I don’t know how

I wanna love you

Pitch black, pale blue 

These wild oceans shake whats left of me loose

Just to hear me cry mercy 

The strong wind at my back 

So I’ll lift up the only sail that I have

This tired white thread

I’m only honest when it rains 

If I time it right, the thunder breaks when I open my mouth

  I wanna tell you but I don’t know how 

I’m only honest when it rains

An open book, with a torn out page and my inks run out 

I wanna love you but I don’t know how

I’m only honest when it rains 

If I time it right, the thunder breaks when I open my mouth 

I wanna tell you but I don’t know how

I’m only honest when it rains

An open book, with a torn out page and my inks run out 

I wanna love you but I don’t know how

I don’t know how, I don’t know how 

I don’t know how, I wanna love you but I don’t know how 

I don’t know how, I wanna love you but I don’t know how 

I wanna love you but I don’t know how 

I wanna love you

…and then I found out someone had set the lyrics to a Sleeping at Last song to THIS devastating post
