LILACS
is a song about blissful ignorance.
The blooming of the Lilacs is a gift; a gentle reminder that seasons have changed and the earth is beautiful.
As our summers get warmer, and as our forests burn hotter and more uncontrollably, how much longer can we sit under our lilac trees and cherry blossoms in our coveted sunshine? How much longer until we are choking on the smoke?
We can dream.

‘LILACS’ BY TOMY UNIVERSE
Lilacs
Break my neck
Backflip
Just to catch one breath
Two lips
Kissing sun, dancing pink
Are we having fun?
let’s go have some fun
I’m burning up like pine, tryna’ feel alright
Oh I’m staying cool, laying out in the bloom
Where I can dream of something wonderful
In this diamond blue
It’s beautiful and wonderful
Pearl and diamond views
Don’t you love that heat?
Melting your iced drinks, shine on your nice things
I’ve got a question for you
When the lilacs burn, where will we be?
When the lilacs burn, where will we be?
Well the water’s eighty-four degrees
And counting
The air conditioning
Is fucking freezing
Suburbia is free
Well the concrete burned my feet
But the grass is so soft and green
And the lilac trees all gleam
In the sunset with your ice cream
And your white button down
I bet you’re feeling so nice
I’m burning up like spruce, denying the truth
But oh I’m staying cool, laying out in the bloom
Where I can dream of something wonderful
In this diamond blue
It’s beautiful and wonderful
Pearl and diamond views
Don’t you love that heat?
Melting your iced drinks, shine on your nice things
I’ve got a question for you
When the lilacs burn, where will we be?
When the lilacs burn, where will we be?
When the lilacs burn, just like the trees
Oh where will we be
When the lilacs burn?
I guess we’ll dream of something wonderful
Oh we can dream of something wonderful
We can dream
