"Carnivore" lyrics - JEWEL

So much space can fit in a sigh
More than words can say
I'm left here standing with my hands all awkward
Trying to mend space
I used to know you
But not anymore
Your substance has been subtracted
Word by word

Silence in my ears, where once you offered your conviction
Your promises are dry beads that crack with nostalgia
But that's alright, that's okay
Never shoulda given myself to you anyway
Never trust your pink, fleshy heart
Never trust your pink, fleshy heart
To a carnivore
To a carnivore

[Chorus:]
Your soul is an ink stain
Your perfection is amend
And you're as fragile as your thoughtlessness
But you're as strong as you can bend
You could only believe in embryos
So you held all your high hopes though a telescope
Lavender haunted you so I could
Only laugh in yellow
Yes, you have a genius for subtlety
I slip through the fingers of your ambiguity
But that's alright, that's okay
Never shoulda given myself to you anyway
Never trust your pink, fleshy heart
Never trust your pink, fleshy heart
To a carnivore

And I don't know what I did
But I won't do it again, this time I'll be my own best friend
And I take back my songs and my poetry
And next time I won't be so easy to read
And I'll never trust my pink, fleshy no
Never trust my pink, fleshy heart, no
Never trust my pink, fleshy heart
To a carnivore
To a carnivore
To a carnivore
