Like Porcelain

precious one what have you done?
you know that day will never come

silver sky
enjoy you cry
everything is wrong with me
precious son
everything is wrong with me

long is the winter
cold is your body
dry as a mountain
shy is the child in you
i've been told
but i don't know
it's so cold
but i'm not present

precious one what have you done?
you know that day will never come

while i look in your eyes
i can tell you
you're paralyzed
while i look in your eyes
i can tell you
you're gonna die

how will i know it's not too late?
and how will i know if you should wait?
how can i explain it's not for me?
and how can i explain how it feels?
it goes the line you say

long is the winter
cold is your body
dry as a mountain
shy is the child in you
i've been told
but i don't know
it's so cold
but i'm not present
