Stray Bullets -

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
