LILY DIED FOR LOVE (2020)
LILY DIED FOR LOVE
Lily died for love
She put her son above herself
And oh, what a spell
What a spell
Lily died for love
But she smiles through
The eyes of her child
It runs in the blood
Dying doesn’t let the love
Let up
Lily died for love
She put her son above herself
And oh, what a spell
What a spell
Running from the ones who wouldn’t lose
From words unheard he did choose
Born to those who have thrice defied
Born as the seventh month dies
Lily died for love
She put her son above herself
And oh, what a spell
What a spell

PRIVET DRIVE
Streetlights go out
Hearts full of doubt
For here is a house
With no magic about
And oh, what pretty little houses
All the flowers in their rows
What would the people in the town say
If anyone was any other way
Given a bed
Boot heels overhead
Underfed
Imagination unsaid
And oh, what pretty little houses
All the flowers in their rows
What would the people in the town say
If anyone was any other way

THE TRUTH
I’ll give you the truth today
Lily you are just like me
I’ve seen the magic of your play
I’ll give you the truth today
You and I are just the same
It matters not from where you came
I’ve waited for so long to say
I’ll give you the truth today
//
FLIGHT
I’ve been running all my days
Chased and pushed around
But when I took to the sky
I left that life on the ground
This was easy, this was wonderful
I was made for flight
Flowing wind around my frame
Blows these troubles away
What compares to cutting through the air
Or kicking against the clay
This was easy, this was wonderful
I was made for flight
//
SILVER LINING
There’s a place for me
There’s a place for you
On the other side of
The things we’re going through
I always knew you wouldn’t rest easy
But to fight him you gotta leave me
There’s a place for me
There’s a place for you
On the other side of
The things we’re going through
While you’re gone defeating the darkness
Think of me wherever your heart is
I found the silver lining
And I smiled but my eyes were shining
There’s a place for me
There’s a place for you
On the other side of
The things we’re going through

DRACO
I was going down the train track
I was going home
Since then I’ve never looked back
I was going home
A poor boy sat beside me
And we became friends
Never had someone to share with
No money to spend
Then somebody said
You’re choosing the losing side
He said it with pride
But it was a lie
Draco some day you’ll know
What the world you wanted looks like
And your shadow might just want to
Run to the light
And if somebody says
You’re choosing the losing side
Know the river that divides
Is not that wide

COURAGE DEEP DOWN
Could have been the one
Chosen to bring him down
It just took a little while
To bring out the courage deep down
Like a seed in the deepest
Part of your heart
Watered by rage at
The ones who tore your family apart
Then one day with a sword in your hand
You look ‘round
And you know you’re holding in your hand
The courage deep down
Could have been the one
Chosen to bring him down
It just took a little while
To bring out the courage deep down
//
WHAT IS RIGHT, WHAT IS EASY
What’s right and what is easy
Divides us completely
What’s right and what is easy
Divides us completely
Dark times lie ahead of us
And it’s going to beg of us
That the light you have
You don’t lose
And if you stray across the path of it
Remember what happened to
A good man, you must choose
What’s right and what is easy
Divides us completely
What’s right and what is easy
Divides us completely

MAGIC AT ITS DEEPEST
All the elements we persuade
And all the incantations
All the potions ever made
And all the divinations
They shine for us to see and hear
But our choices are a magic just as real
This is magic at its deepest
This is magic at its deepest
All the bones and things we mend
And all the conjurations
All the air and light we bend
And all the wild sensations
They shine for us to see and feel
But our choices are a magic just as real
This is magic at its deepest
This is magic at its deepest

FOUNTAIN OF BRETHREN
I wanna take down the ministry of magic
The pureblood-loving
Power-hungry bureaucratics
The Fountain of Brethren told a lie
I get the Prophet every day at half-past nine
If you can’t see the lies then you must be blind
Seems like the paper’s in the pocket of a cursed few
Just because the government says it
Doesn’t make it true
You wanna run a school like a government camp
Teaching that some people aren’t worth a damn
Fearing those people you oppress like despots do
One of these days you gonna see what they can do
It doesn’t matter much to who you were born
What matters is who you become
Who’s to hold magic ain’t for you to decide
All you want it power and for that
You need to divide
