Wintersleep - Preservation lyrics

That night he hurt you bad
In that green, pastel summer dress
You'd die alone with the land
A hollow head in it's hands
But everybody does that
But with particular scorn
In polyurethane form
Freeze dried, stuff to the brim

Preservation

Hide in our hideous masks
Your daddy's shitty shake grass
I told you I couldn't see it
A monument of pills
Grocery lists, telephone bills
Pamphlets & dollar store trinkets

Preservation

But, if that was how you put
It, and if you ever willed it
I would embroider you
In disaffected kisses, in
Bleach reticent sunsets soldered animal glue

A hand too heavy to hold lips that won't
Do what they're told
How do we ever begin it?
