Wintersleep - Preservation

Текст песни

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, 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?
Preservation
Preservation
(How do we grow old? How do we grow old?)
