For the Dying and Dead

from Lilly Nobody by moon II

/

lyrics

mother of one, birthday cake, forty-young
broken to none, daddy left, lost her son
to the rainbow in the fall
only the scarecrow saw it all

used candle burns, papa sings to his daughter
cheer up my girl, ’s not the end of your world
and only god knows what’ll come,
maybe tomorrow’ll make you someone

child of nine, feather bed, lost her shrine
torn from the sky, saw the cake, saw her crying
and only one thought saw her through:
oh she wished god dropped the moon too

bootleg princess cries, she tries in the park
perfect hair stands by hiding in the dark
the sickness, the near miss, she cannot stand this

sent to her bed, born again by the dying and dead
broken and red, burning world in her head
and only god knows what’ll come
only god knows what you’ve done

chained to the star, patchwork dreams, body tar
broken and marred, but six eyes saw the scar
oh she’s so scared

bootleg princess tries, she tries in the park
perfect hair ran away
only god knows what you are
bootleg princess tries real hard for us all
but we’re terrified of her
the rainbow, the end goal (oh hell no)
