[Verse 1]
You never got to bloom
They cut you from the stem
You're innocent at birth
Until you understand
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
So many shades of white
So many shades of pale
I know what you hate
So I do it constantly
So many shades of white
So many shades of pale
I know how to cut
A wound that will not heal
[Verse 2]
Consistency of dirt
Insects that spun your silk
They wait for gratitude
They wait for mother's milk
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
So many shades of white
So many shades of pale
I know what you hate
So I do it constantly
So many shades of white
So many shades of pale
I know how to cut
A wound that will not heal
[Outro]
So many shades of white
So many shades of pale
I know what you hate
So many shades of white
So many shades of pale
I know what you hate
I know how to cut
A wound that will not heal
I know how to cut
A wound that will not heal
