Lillian Lies

Lillian lies
To avoid open questions
Looks to the sky
For intervention
But she cant avoid judgmental compassion
In the void
Puts on a face
Makes it a brave
One gets herself a seat on a interstate greyhound
When everythings gone at least you got nothing that holds on
Pulls herself up
Rests her head on the window
Sees her face in the trees suspended in limbo
When everythings gone
At least you got nothing that holds on.

You're a stranger in a country town
The kids all stare
The cars slow down
You didn't think you'd be so dumb
To just grow old
Why'd it came along
Hours slip by
The clouds are solo
The sky doesn't cover
It swallows
