Pap Smear

You never got to bloom
They cut you from the stem
You're innocent at birth
Until you understand

Repeat every word that you say to me
They put you to use or put you to sleep
I can't tell you the difference between
An embryo or a planted seed

So many shades of white
So many shades of pale
I know what you hate
So I do it constantly

Many shades of white
Many shades of pale
I know how to cut
A wound that will not heal

Consistancy of dirt
Insects that spun your silk
They wait for gratitude
They wait for mother's milk

Repeat every word that you say to me
They put you to use or put you to sleep
I can't tell you the difference between
An embryo or a planted seed

So many shades of white
So many shades of pale
I know what you hate
So I do it constantly

Many shades of white
Many shades of pale
I know how to cut
A wound that will not heal

Prueba de Papanicolaou

Nunca llegaste a florecer
Te arrancaron del tallo
Eres inocente al nacer
Hasta que comprendes

Repite cada palabra que me dices
Te usan o te duermen
No distingo la diferencia entre
Un embrión o una semilla plantada

Tantos tonos de blanco
Tantos tonos de palidez
Sé lo que odias
Así que lo hago constantemente

Muchos tonos de blanco
Muchos tonos de palidez
Sé cómo cortar
Una herida que no sanará

Consistencia de tierra
Insectos que hilaron tu seda
Esperan gratitud
Esperan la leche materna

Repite cada palabra que me dices
Te usan o te duermen
No distingo la diferencia entre
Un embrión o una semilla plantada

Tantos tonos de blanco
Tantos tonos de palidez
Sé lo que odias
Así que lo hago constantemente

Muchos tonos de blanco
Muchos tonos de palidez
Sé cómo cortar
Una herida que no sanará
