Carnivore - Jewel

So much space can fit in a sigh

More than words can say

I’m left here standing with my hands all awkward

Trying to mend space

I used to know you

But not anymore

Your substance has been subtracted

Word by word

Silence in my ears, where once you offered your conviction

Your promises are dry beads that crack with nostalgia

But that’s alright, that’s okay

Never shoulda given myself to you anyway

Never trust your pink, fleshy heart

Never trust your pink, fleshy heart

To a carnivore

To a carnivore

Your soul is an inkstain

Your perfection is amend

And you’re as fragile as your thoughtlessness

But you’re as strong as you can bend

You could only believe in embryos

So you held all your high hopes through a telescope

Lavender haunted you so I could

Only laugh in yellow

Yes, you have a genius for subtlety

I slip through the fingers of your ambiguity

But that’s alright, that’s okay

Never shoulda given myself to you anyway

Never trust your pink, fleshy heart

Never trust your pink, fleshy heart

To a carnivore

And I don’t know what I did

But I won’t do it again,

this time I’ll be my own best friend

And I take back my songs and my poetry

And next time I won’t be so easy to read

And I’ll never trust my pink, fleshy no

Never trust my pink, fleshy heart, no

Never trust my pink, fleshy heart

To a carnivore

To a carnivore

To a carnivore
