Lyrics

Formaldehyde

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.

Would you butcher my love

To understand it?

To know where it lies

Cut a hole in my heart

Fill a hole in your life

I'm yours to dissect

Now does every heartbeat

Burn a white heat in your blood?

Formaldehyde

The tissue and bone my soul has on loan

Begs to be near you

Are you listening carefully?

Then we shall begin

Now does every heartbeat

Burn a white heat in your blood?

I hope it doesn't matter

I hope we swim up out of this flood

Of formaldehyde, (never let you go)

Formaldehyde, (until the end of time)

Formaldehyde, (never let you go)

Formaldehyde. (my formaldehyde)

Smother my love, entertain it

My mind's gonna wander

Are you listening carefully?

Then we shall begin

Now does every heartbeat

Burn a white heat in your blood?

I hope it doesn't matter

I hope we swim up out of this flood

Of formaldehyde, (never let you go)

Formaldehyde, (until the end of time)

Formaldehyde, (never let you go)

Formaldehyde, (my formaldehyde)

I'm lost to a love that's a mile wide

Drowned in a bath of formaldehyde

Now does every heartbeat

Burn a white heat in your blood?

I hope it doesn't matter

I hope we swim up out of this flood

Of formaldehyde, (never let you go)

Formaldehyde, (until the end of time)

Formaldehyde, (never let you go)

Formaldehyde. (my formaldehyde)

Formaldehyde, (never let you go)

Formaldehyde, (until the end of time)

Formaldehyde, (never let you go)

Formaldehyde. (my formaldehyde)

I'm lost to a love that's a mile wide

Drowned in a bath of formaldehyde

I'm lost to a love
