The Gentle Preservation of Children's Minds Lyrics
Remember when they used to make us
wake up and spray all the blood from the flowers
it was so hot, in the afternoon
they told us that we couldn't stop until the garden bloomed
When we were finished, we heard the sirens scream
i shook your back and woke you up from someone else's dream
you were so lost underneath the weight
you turned into the type of person that you used to hate
Are you still mine
i hope you feel better this time
The gentle preservation of children's minds
Remember when we danced with your mother
she was so drunk in the living room
and then her profile, turned a certain way
showed me how you would look thirty years from today
So come and talk to me in your language
with your glass eye and your wooden teeth
i think i know what's wrong i think i know what you're on
i think i know what they meant when they said you were gone
Are you still mine
i hope you feel better this time
The gentle preservation of children's minds
wake up and spray all the blood from the flowers
it was so hot, in the afternoon
they told us that we couldn't stop until the garden bloomed
i shook your back and woke you up from someone else's dream
you were so lost underneath the weight
you turned into the type of person that you used to hate
i hope you feel better this time
she was so drunk in the living room
and then her profile, turned a certain way
showed me how you would look thirty years from today
with your glass eye and your wooden teeth
i think i know what's wrong i think i know what you're on
i think i know what they meant when they said you were gone
i hope you feel better this time

people need to know this band..they are fucking amazing....i randomly picked the album out at amoeba b/c of the album title and the cover artwork (death in the garden, blood on the flowers) trust me..this is one of the best indie bands i've ever heard
These guys are one of the best indie band I've ever heard too. Don't really know much about the song meaning though.
