lilac scar - lizzie (ophelia) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
ophelia, princess of somebody’s court
a tale to be told that you ended so short
the one who falls first always takes all the blame

[verse 2]
elizabeth siddal, your beauty and grace
framed by the flowers to bring out your face
had to sit still just to make your own name

[chorus]
rosemary and rue
rosemary and rue
ophelia, they drowned you
[verse 3]
a lady must watch as the madness unfolds
these machinations that turned them all cold
violets will wilt and alone you will pay

{verse 4]
he laid you in water, an idol of fate
painted in stillnеss but wasted away
if you went under thеy’d let you decay

[chorus]
rosemary and rue
rosemary and rue
ophelia, they drowned you

[verse 5]
laudanum lilies to soothe all the pain
never a devil but n0body’s saint
your fingers trace clarity they never sought

[verse 6]
the river will flow, the river will
the river will flow, the river will
the river will flow, the river will flow

[bridge 1]
river in mouth, a traitorous tongue (the river will flow, the river will)
immortalized by the flood in your lungs (the river will flow, the river will)
never your fault when you were so young (aligned with your breath)
[bridge 2]
time will stand
still

[final chorus]
rosemary and rue
rosemary and rue
ophelia, they drowned you
