She don't dream the way she used to dream Before her body condemned itself to feeling like an empty building One day she'll discover that the habits that she covets Only smother the hopes that her heart will change
She broke her teeth on an unsheathed piece of hard-tasting candy She closes her eyes at night She can hear the cavalry go by She can taste his tongue in her mouth and it's tasting like disease
She don't ever see what should be seen Until the thing that should be seen is out of sight She don't ever see what should be seen Until the thing that should be seen is out of sight She don't ever see what should be seen Until the thing that should be seen is out of sight She don't ever see what should be seen Until the thing that should be seen is gone
Her fingers burn when she folds into play (?) That a hunt for love ain't cut like the holes in her duvet She ain't too certain that her psyche can take Another season of hunters pretending to spare their prey
And her brains froze black And her eyes rolled back And her steps shellacked She don't know what she's becoming
And her brains froze black And her tongue rolled back And her heart shellacked She don't know what she's becoming
She don't dream the way she used to dream Before her body condemned itself to feeling like an empty building One day she'll discover that the habits that she covets Only smother the hopes that her heart will change
She broke her teeth on an unsheathed piece of hard-tasting candy She closes her eyes at night She can hear the years she lost go by She can taste his tongue in her mouth and it's tasting like deceit
And her brains froze black And her eyes rolled back And her steps shellacked She don't know what she's becoming
And her brains froze black And her tongue rolled back And her heart shellacked She don't know what she's becoming She don't know what she's becoming She don't know what she's becoming
