Magnolia Lyrics

Magnolia lyrics

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



Your eyes are like
sea glass, so weathered and worn

From all they've seen of adolescence
torn

The lovers who have tainted you, they pulled you into the night

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 are 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
