This, My Porcelain Life Songtext / Lyric

This letter you get it,

You burn it,

Forget it

It's not what I meant to say

You might think me a scapegrace

Really a fugitive in decay

I exist here on an acre of nature

In the diminutive

But I'll be thinking of you, I would wager

My favorite hypocrite



You are a master of the commerce of friendship

So I put all of my feathers on

I wrote you this letter, I'll send it

When this foul weather is gone

Of your last words to me I am thinking

And of the depth of your eyes

But you can't halt the profound shrinking

Of this, my porcelain life






You're vexed that I reject your protection

Well I abhor captivity

I want to live alone in my little section

So very wild and watery

How to preserve my own mistaken perfection?

Or your refined vulgarity

I only tenuously ask you this question

Out of a sense it was for clarity



You are a master of the commerce of friendship

So I put all of my feathers on

I wrote you this letter, I'll send it

When this foul weather is gone

Of your last words to me I am thinking

And of the depth of your eyes

But you can't halt the profound shrinking

Of this, my porcelain life



My porcelain life

My porcelain life



I find it very breakable



My porcelain life
