Paroles de Magnolia

Your heartbeat is pulsing at night in your chest

It's gold and it's glowing with all the life you have left

I received your words from hospitals
Where you felt alone

Your words like smoke, they made me sick

But they kept me warm



Run where you'll be safe

Through the garden gates

To the shelter of magnolias



Eyes like sea glass, so weathered and worn

From all they've seen of adolescence torn
They touched your skin with velvet gloves

And made you feel alive



Run where you'll be safe

Through the garden gates

To the shelter of magnolias

There's not much time

The blush in the sky begins to fade



You were weathered and worn

Your petals soft and torn

The fading color

You have bent your shoulders

To hold the weight of the world

You will surely shatter



Run where you'll be safe

Through the garden gates

To the shelter of magnolias

There's not much time

The blush in the sky begins to fade
