[Verse 1: Alice Glass]
You never got to bloom
They cut you from the stem
You're innocent at birth
Until you understand

[Pre-Chorus: Alice Glass]
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: Alice Glass]
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: Alice Glass]
Consistency of dirt
Insects that spun your silk
They wait for gratitude
They wail for mother's milk

[Pre-Chorus: Alice Glass]
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: Alice Glass]
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: Alice Glass]
So many shades of white, so many—
I know what you hate, so I do—
So many shades of white, so many—
I know what you hate, so I do—
I know how to cut a wound that will not heal
I know how to cut a wound that will not heal
