You never got to bloom
They cut you from the stem
You're innocent at birth
Until you understandRepeat 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 seedSo many shades of white
So many shades of pale
I know what you hate
So I do it constantlySo many shades of white
So many shades of pale
I know how to cut
A wound that will not healConsistency of dirt
Insects that spun your silk
They wait for gratitude
They wait for mother's milkRepeat 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 seedSo many shades of white
So many shades of pale
I know what you hate
So I do it constantlySo many shades of white
So many shades of pale
I know how to cut
A wound that will not healSo many shades of white
So many shades of pale
I know what you hateSo many shades of white
So many shades of pale
I know what you hateI know how to cut
A wound that will not heal
I know how to cut
A wound that will not heal
