Lyrics

This, My Porcelain Life

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.

This letter you get it

You burn it, forget it

It's not what I meant to say

You might think me a scapegrace

Really a fugitive in decay

I exist here on an acre of nature

In the diminutive

But I'll be thinking of you, I would wager

My favorite hypocrite

You are a master of the commerce of friendship

So I put all of my feathers on

I wrote you this letter, I send it

And this foul weather is gone

Of your last words to me I am thinking

And of the depth of your eyes

But you can't halt the profound shrinking

Of this, my porcelain life

You're vexed that I reject your protection

Well I abhor captivity

I want to live alone in my little section

So very wild and watery

How to preserve my own mistaken perfection?

Or your refined vulgarity

I only tenuously ask you this question

Out of a sense it was for clarity

You are a master of the commerce of friendship

So I put all of my feathers on

I wrote you this letter, I send it

And this foul weather is gone

Of your last words to me I am thinking

And of the depth of your eyes

But you can't halt the profound shrinking

Of this, my porcelain life

My porcelain life

My porcelain life

I find it very breakable

My porcelain life
