Lyrics
Pap Smear
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Many shades of white
Many shades of pale
I know how to cut
a wound that will not heal
Consistancy 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
Many shades of white
Many shades of pale
I know how to cut
a wound that will not heal
