Pap Smear

Crystal Castles

You never got to bloom 
They cut you from the stem 
You're innocent at birth 
Until you understand 

Repeat every word that you say to me 
They put you to use or put you to sleep 
I cant tell you the difference between 
An embryo or a planted seed 

So many shades of white 
So many shades of pale 
I know what you hate 
So i do it constantly 

Many shades of white 
Many shades of pale 
I know how to cut 
A wound that will not heal 

Consistancy of dirt 
Insects that spun your silk 
They wait for gratitude 
They wait for mother's milk 

Repeat every word that you say to me 
They put you to use or put you to sleep 
I cant tell you the difference between 
An embryo or a planted seed 

So many shades of white 
So many shades of pale 
I know what you hate 
So i do it constantly 

Many shades of white 
Many shades of pale 
I know how to cut 
A wound that will not heal
