Tony Doogan - Preservation lyrics

[Verse 1] That night he hurt you bad In that green, pastel Summer dress You'd die alone with the land A hollow head in its hands But everybody does that But with particular scorn In polyurethane form Freeze dried, stuff to the brim [Chorus](x3) Preservation [Verse 2] Hide in our hideous masks Your daddy's sh**ty Shake gra** I told you I couldn't see it A monument of pills Grocery lists, telephone bills Pamphlets & dollar store trinkets [Chorus](x7) Preservation [Bridge] But if that was how you put It, and if you ever willed it I would embroider you In disaffected kisses, in Bleach reticent sunsets Soldered animal glue [Verse 3] A hand too heavy to hold Lips that won't Do what they're told How do we ever begin it? [Chorus](x3) Preservation [Outro](x12) Preservation (How do we grow old? How do we grow old?)
