Lilac

She must be asleep now She usually doses off about a quarter to midnight Or at least she did with me And I hope she's dreaming a dream of benediction and bountiful lovelies On lilac sheets she lies She takes subconscious hours for granted And when the sun will rear it's head You can almost bet she'll dress in independence You laid me down And put me to rest You closed your eyes and never allowed the to split I filled my mouth with fermentation so maybe then I could sleep half as well as you did When you left me Scour the ground Digging shallow graves just incase I would ever want to get out People walking by me have no idea That every waking moment is a struggle not to wet my eyes in this drought But emotional is as emotional does so I guess you could say I'm over dramatic Painting grey skies over anticlimatics You're the first thing that I think of each day And you seem to last until I fall asleep in my bed And I can't help it if I love you even if I barely exist in your head On lilac sheets she lies On lilac sheets she lies On lilac sheets she lies On lilac sheets she lies to me
