sweet magnolia

 



What have you done

To the summer I dreamed of?

Left in a drought

With a withered flowered crown


You like the pursuit 

But you wouldn't go in for the kill

The fragility of lust

Shatters under your broken skin


Does this endless walk of shame

Pave it's way over my grave?

Sweet Magnolia

I pray you never find me again


And it's the insincerity

Of how you know me better now

That makes you draw your crooked lines

Over the edge of my cold fingers


I was dancing in someone else's shoes

Dismantling the faith I lived in

Even if it stayed with me for a moment

It's left a halo all over my ruins


But the summer evening breeze 

Gave me the fatal bone chill

Sweet Magnolia

You've tailored my patience to your whim


And I would like to give you

The benefit of the doubt

But I'm cold and unforgiving

And I hoped you'd never find out


I swallowed this anger

That left me with weight I couldn't lose

All my sincerity is buried under

The armor I forged in the fires that burned me blue


And it's such a shame

My optimism has swayed

I would've stayed

But the thorns on my feet are carrying me away


Sweet Magnolia

Swing beneath the trees

Let your innocence run free

Promise me, that patience is all you'll ever want from me.
