Lillian

Lyrics for Lillian

She was stuck in pictures While he passed time in film Oh, silly fame, why do you play? Frame by frame, day by day With reels changing over And dropping to the sides Oh, solemn soul, see where you are And look to the sides what you discard Press your lips to mine, breathe in deep and lie When the cameras roll, hide away your soul Flash your eyes, forge a smile, entertain But don't get stuck in something you hate Bring me the eyes of the earth Cut off the tongue of the world Keep the ends close in sight to the means that imply You're not living the life that you're worth Pressing your lips to mine, breathe in deep and lie When the cameras roll, hide away your soul Flashing your eyes to sell, lying to yourself Dodging truth form the start, hide away your heart Turn around, forge a smile, entertain But don't get stuck in something painful Something worse than nothing We could have been smart With the plot from the start Mistakes from the spark We knew it wasn't love Breathe in deep and lie When the cameras roll Hide away your soul Flash your eyes, forge a smile, entertain
