Deep Femme - Scaffolding Lyrics

I'm learning to wear makeup
I'm learning to take it off
My reflection still sucks
I'm trying to shake that stuff

We're all raising up the scaffolding
We're all raising up that scaffolding
We're all raising up the scaffolding
To make cathedrals of our bones

I'm drawing sigils and testing the veil's boundaries
More than anything i wanna talk to god
My younger self would certainly laugh at me
Her smug smile a shield barely hiding she's lost lost lost

We're all raising up the scaffolding
We're all raising up that scaffolding
We're all raising up the scaffolding
To make cathedrals of our bones

I can show you some american sighs
And we can survey those bleak tired eyes
It's shaky ground we stand on
And this foundation won't last long
The fire's getting higher
We might just be building pyres
But i won't stop making meaning til i'm gone gone gone
No i won't stop making me until i'm gone gone gone
