When I still thought there was time I'd peel back these blisters And rub them with brine Whisper and mouth lullabies Pretending those words were not mine Is it a bit much to ask For the snow to come down And cover my tracks Carries lies is a task And frankly, dear, we wear me out Of the rise and the fall I would sing songs capturing it all But I won't sing to you again Cause you're not listening And after the silence was flung The amateur marriage still rests on my tongue Could we, to bear some relief, Consider this union baby teeth? Of the rise and the fall I could sing songs capturing you all But I won't sing to you again Cause you're not listening Oh and after the silence was flung A battle was always fought My strategy always was To kiss the tip of your tongue So the words could not roll off So the vowels could not form How clever I thought I was One for the casualty, One for the party dress. The pace of the guillotine best me, Severed my head from my rest.
