Well Kept Wife

Inside myself is a well-kept wife
Frozen shut, but married twice
Pushing on the walls that keep
But never asking why
Her body is such a strong, strong thing
But she questions all the flesh between
Does it matter, no? Well, it does to me
So, I spend all day saying, "Sorry"

No one's seen or heard from me in a while now
I'm not doing better, but I've a child now
To please the wolves, I'll bite my tongue
I might be lost, but at least I'm young
No one's seen or heard from me in quite some time

I make sure that I always see the time
The changing of the leaves
Neighbours wave hello to me
And so, I know it's spring
I can't breathe, it's the time of year
A few months in and I crave that fear
A lesson learnt, a life well spent
And so, I vow to go

No one's seen or heard from me in a while now
I'm not doing better, but I've a child now
To please the wolves, I'll bite my tongue
I might be lost, but at least I'm young
No one's seen or heard from me in quite some time

Tell me the house got dirty
Tell me the warmth escaped
Tell me the dinner's not ready
I know the bed's not made
The grass is long, and so are your nails
Your calendar's wrong and you're getting so pale
No one's seen or heard from me in quite some time

Somebody waters the plants
Somebody waters the plants
Somebody waters the plants
Somebody waters the plants
