new fossils - picking scabs lyrics
[verse]
she tags her polaroids like a personal playbill
and fills her walls with life supporting casts
she takes her opioids and stares with eyes of hazel
what can you do about a girl like that
[prechorus]
out of a girl she folds a thousand paper swans from scattered dreams
out of the clouds she picks the future that she wants but she can’t see it
[chorus]
she says: “i’m picking roses i’ve been growing
and when they finish decomposing
i’ll start again and plant the seeds anew
i’ll start again and plant the seeds anew”
she says: “i’m picking scabs that have been healing
and when they finish all their bleeding
i’ll keep the scars to remember the wound
i’ll keep the scars to remember the wound”
[verse]
she never stops to talk to those with any interest
the shouts down every single [?]
her music’s so ironic
no she only listens
to billboard toppers from the reagan years
[prechorus]
out of a girl she folds a thousand paper swans from scattered dreams
out of the clouds she picks the future that she wants but she can’t see it
[chorus]
she says: “i’m picking roses i’ve been growing
and when they finish decomposing
i’ll start again and plant the seeds anew
i’ll start again and plant the seeds anew”
she says: “i’m picking scabs that have been healing
and when they finish all their bleeding
i’ll keep the scars to remember the wound
i’ll keep the scars to remember the wound”
[verse]
she couldn’t be more vapid if she was a d-mn kardashian
but she can hypnotize like it was true love
she’s so intoxicated
and the raw infatuated
can’t discern when way to much is enough
enough, enough
[chorus]
she says: “i’m picking roses i’ve been growing
and when they finish decomposing
i’ll start again and plant the seeds anew
i’ll start again and plant the seeds anew”
she says: “i’m picking scabs that have been healing
and when they finish all their bleeding
i’ll keep the scars to remember the wound
i’ll keep the scars to remember the wound”
