Headstones and Land Mines lyrics
by Lizzy McAlpine
[Verse 1]
Headstones and landmines
Flowers and red wines
They buy you nice things
And they sing pretty songs
But itâ
doesn'tâ
help
Oak trees andâ
dirt piles
Funerals and mistrials
They say prettyâ
words
And they hug from six feet
But it doesn't help
And nothingâworksâbutâtime
And it allâhurts, but it'sâfine
[Chorus]
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mhmm, hmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mhmm, hmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, hmm
[Verse 2]
Chaos and carpet
A study in scarlet
The room doesn't talk
And the furniture nods as I pass
Heights marked in pencil
Kitchen utensils
The books don't say sorry
They don't crowd and touch
They're just observers collecting their dust
They know that nothing they say is enough
So they don't say a thing
[Chorus]
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mhmm, hmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mhmm, hmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, hmm
