 Lyrics:

 

I know what you are made of:

lakes and simple sounds, good company

the dissapointed child as he sleeps

with open heart songs inside his sheets.

 

Grandma used to knit. 

She made a pink blanket.

She told me what little girls are made of:

Sugar and spice and everything that's nice.

That is what little girls are made of. 

 

You know what I am made of:

tiny branches, spririled weeds

the disenchanted child

as she screams for you to love

what she's made of.

 

I would have given all myself to you:

hidden faces found and freed.

I'm a brand new cut

that waits

before it bleeds.

 

Do you love what we're made of?!
