about

Lilac Thief's first single "take care.", taken from the upcoming debut EP "A MORTAL GARDEN".

lyrics

An airport farewell, you stand in line to leave
To soar at the height of the lowest I've ever been
I watch you walk away until there's nothing left to see
I'm left behind without a guide in unfamiliar territory

I see you as lavender and wine red
As all the colours that seem to fit me best

It tastes cliché bittersweet
It tastes like iron as I bite my cheek
A little too hard just so I can keep
Myself together until I get home to sleep
To hibernate, a dreamless state
So exhausted I may never wake
I need to learn to share my bed
With this loveless, empty space

I feel you as lavender and red wine
As all the aids that seem to help on sleepless nights

Always a source of pride
A precious source of strength right at my side
A magic I didn't believe in 'til I saw it with my own eyes
Our fairytale ends with Happily Never Again
But as that chapter closes, it's one I'm richer for having read
So we are
And so it goes, my love
Wherever I am, you're welcome
Wherever you are, I'm home

Daylight crept in softly so as not to wake me
But I had been waiting up to see it get home safely
I guess next to you I felt you as a frame of mind
Now in your absence I know you as a space in time

So we are
And so it goes, my love
Wherever I am, you're welcome
Wherever you are I'm home
Wherever I am, you're welcome
Wherever you are I'm home
Wherever I am, you're welcome
Wherever you are I'm

Home.
