Beauty School - Gloom Lyrics

(Wake up and smell the flowers in bloom)

When you worry for me
It's not maternal guilt
Projected inner self
You vocalise my health

Try pry a bias from me
And not that subtly
You touch my creaky knees
You tape your tongue to your teeth

And you swore on the day that he died
That you'd try a little harder next time
To be fair, to quiet your mind
To give grace a little peace sometimes

With a face like his coffin, you're covered in gloom
I'm up on my feet again, to repeat after you
You plead it's not worth it, smile and nod along
Lets leave it til after, Save it for your swansong
Save it for your swansong

Wake up and smell the flowers in bloom
One day we all suffer the same gloom."
