You never got to bloom
They cut you from the stem
You're innocent at birth
Until you understand
Repeat every word that you say to me
They put you to use or put you to sleep
I can't tell you the difference between
An embryo or a planted seed
So many shades of white
So many shades of pale
I know what you hate
So I do it constantly
So many shades of white
So many shades of pale
I know how to cut
A wound that will not heal
Consistency of dirt
Insects that spun your silk
They wait for gratitude
They wait for mother's milk
Repeat every word that you say to me
They put you to use or put you to sleep
I can't tell you the difference between
An embryo or a planted seed
So many shades of white
So many shades of pale
I know what you hate
So I do it constantly
So many shades of white
So many shades of pale
I know how to cut
A wound that will not heal
So many shades of white
So many shades of pale
I know what you hate
So many shades of white
So many shades of pale
I know what you hate
I know how to cut
A wound that will not heal
I know how to cut
A wound that will not heal
