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 its hands
But everybody does that
But with particular scorn
In polyurethane form
Freeze dried, stuffed to the brim

Preservation
Preservation
Preservation

Hide in that hideous mask
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
Preservation
Preservation
Preservation
Preservation
Preservation
Preservation

If that was how you put it
But 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
However do we begin it?
