Laurence Overmire - Shopping For The Perfect Card lyrics

Pretty cards inked with flowers, beaches, boats and such Do not express What lurks within the heart There are no sugar-sappy words for Pain. Grief. Loss. Violation. We hallmark our relationships with illusions Saccharine sentiments To sweeten the bitter taste of salty unshed tears Festering In the wounds of famil-i-ar Battles lost, never won.
