Carnivore

Lyrics & Info	Tabs	Performances (149)

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 Your soul is an inkstain  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 through 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

Carnivore Written by Jewel Albums Picking Up the Pieces, 2015 Length 4:20 “I’d forgotten I’d changed the bridge over time into this low, mellow little-red-riding hook spooky bridge and I didn’t realize there was ever another bridge over time. My fans on Twitter reminded me to go back to the original bridge on it. I was sent a bootleg of it and now it’s more dynamic. My fans speak up a lot. They really wanted “Carnivore” on the album.” — Picking Up the Pieces Press Release
