Lyrics for Lillian

The place I used to live Made me feel like a tourist I couldn't co-exist With the cold and suspicious When the last remaining light Was starting to filter It seemed the perfect time To step into the future Your heart is a grave to be perfectly honest Your mouth's a smoking gun And you smile while you're twisting the knife in my stomach 'Til everything is gone Take all you can from me I've got weak constitution I'm led so easily So easily I left it all behind In the dead of last winter I left it all behind But the question still lingers So long, forgotten friends No, you don't know the difference Between love and submission And I'm not that obedient Your heart is a grave to be perfectly honest Your mouth's a smoking gun And you smile while you're twisting the knife in my stomach 'Til everything is gone Take all you can from me I've got weak constitution I'm led so easily So easily And she's trying to sleep it off With her head on my shoulder And I'm trying to keep it out Of my thoughts when I hold her (take all you can from me) And she's trying to sleep it off With her head on my shoulder (I'm led so easily) And I'm trying to keep it out Of my thoughts when I hold her Your heart is a grave to be perfectly honest Your mouth's a smoking gun And you smile while you're twisting the knife in my stomach 'Til everything is gone Take all you can from me I've got weak constitution I'm led so easily So easily
