Wintersleep - Preservation video free download

Preservation from Wintersleep's album, New Inheritors

That night he hurt you bad

In that green, pastel

summer dress

You'd die alone with the land

A hollow head in its hands

But everybody does that

But with particular scorn,

in polyurethane form,

freeze dried, stuff to the brim

- Preservation

Hide in our hideous masks

Your daddy's shitty

shake grass

I told you I couldn't see it

A monument of pills,

grocery lists, telephone bills,

pamphlets & dollar

store trinkets

- Preservation

But if that was how you put

it, and if you ever willed it,

I would embroider you

In disaffected kisses, in

bleach reticent sunsets,

soldered animal glue

A hand too heavy to hold

Lips that won't

do what they're told

How do we ever begin it?

How do we grow old?
