Started packing at the age of seventeen
your mamma begging you to keep your nose clean
but you wanted a piece of everything
and who would wake themselves from such a dream
Oh a way to find your bleeding heart some rest
Oh a way to feel your head upon her chest
Oh awakened to the sound of nevermore
Oh suddenly there's nothing that is sure
The lilies wait for no one
and they do not compromise
and they do not compromise
stray bullets wait for no one
and they do not compromise
they do not compromise
Played the roulette with your daddy's big gun
thought what it was to have a little fun
but a waste of life is what those games become
the only way to get out of feeling numb
Oh the feelings are a million miles away
Oh the things you always wanted her to say
Oh awakened to the sound of nevermore
Oh suddenly there's nothing that is sure
The lilies wait for no one
and they do not compromise
and they do not compromise
stray bullets wait for no one
and they do not compromise
they do not compromise
Awash in light too bright to own
there it was - broken, alone
glamour of solidarity
but that's the only way to be
Oh too many drinks, a room of empty haze
Oh are these the things your father might have craved?
Oh awakened to the sound of nevermore
Oh suddenly there's nothing that is sure
The lilies wait for no one
and they do not compromise
and they do not compromise
stray bullets wait for no one
and they do not compromise
and they do not compromise
