Slow Burn

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Carving a name in a bar of soap I look to the sky with a deathless hope I hang on a hook just in back of my eyes I drip on the floor as I shrivel in size [Verse 2] I am the girl in the brown paper slacks Librarian tucked away deep in the stacks Doomed and determined, I wait in the wings I shout to the sky when the telephone rings [Chorus] Slow burn Slow burn Slow burn [Verse 3] Fire and brimstone are all that I know Angels are shapes that we made in the snow Giant white clouds and harps and white garments These are a part of a separatе department [Verse 4] I am the girl in thе burning red sweater Who goes to the doctor but doesn't feel better Tied up and squirming, shouting the name Working a job, smoldering and so tame [Chorus] Slow burn Slow burn Slow burn
