Tiger Lily

(album: The Longest Lonesome - 2019)

The mirror is poison, that's what they tell me
I can't seem to cope without a compliment or drugs
Harass me, let's ask me an honest opinion
Of everything around me, take my hand and cut it off

Tiger lily
Won't you stay a while
Cause you make me smile
Cause you make me

Pulsating, degrading, these feelings, they fester
Slap me in the face and tell me I'm no good at all
You'll test me, confess me, I'll reject it and I'll fail you
I won't close my eyes, you couldn't make me if you tried

Tiger lily
Won't you stay a while
Cause you make me smile
Cause you make me

I won't try to breathe unless I'm breathing for you

Tiger lily
Won't you stay a while
Cause you make me smile
Cause you make me
Tiger lily
Won't you stay a while
Cause you make me smile
Cause you make me
