The girl covered in roses and lilies

The eyes that lights in the dark 
The shine that dims when the clear comes near 
The cracks that shatters when the shine comes 

Forever stuck 
Forever young 
Forever dim 

In the garden that’s filled with roses and lilies 
In the garden that has died and now untouched 
In the garden that covered her with roses and lilies

When you live your life when she is forever stuck 
When she felt the roses and lilies cover her cracks 
When you’re old will you see the girl in the garden 

Look into her eyes that are now dim 
Look at the clear and see no shine 
Look at the cracks that forever shattered 

Cover her with a rose 
Cover her with a lily 
Cover her with the shine so it never dims 

Throw a rose and a lily for the girl whose forever stuck in the garden.
