Goodbye, Miss Havisham Lyrics
Lungs turn to rust, turn to soot
While you smother yourself
The taste of your mouth is of smoke
Lip gloss under his belt
Somebody help
Charred away
Your flesh and bones
This doll's been brought to life
Wrapped up in orchid leaves
Tangle all the twine
This wool, it will survive
In time
Pull out what's left of your hair
Is that lace in your skin
Focused and fixed on your ribs
Would you break from within
Somebody send
Oh I know, but I can't take this
Charred away
Your flesh and bones
This doll's been brought to life
Wrapped up in orchid leaves
Tangle all the twine
This wool, it will survive
Charred away
Your flesh and bones
This doll's been brought to life
Wrapped up in orchid leaves
Tangle all the twine
This wool, it will survive
Charred away
Your flesh and bones
This doll's been brought to life
Wrapped up in orchid leaves
Tangle all the twine
This wool, it will survive
This wool, it will survive
In time
While you smother yourself
The taste of your mouth is of smoke
Lip gloss under his belt
Somebody help
Your flesh and bones
This doll's been brought to life
Wrapped up in orchid leaves
Tangle all the twine
This wool, it will survive
In time
Is that lace in your skin
Focused and fixed on your ribs
Would you break from within
Somebody send
Oh I know, but I can't take this
Your flesh and bones
This doll's been brought to life
Wrapped up in orchid leaves
Tangle all the twine
This wool, it will survive
Your flesh and bones
This doll's been brought to life
Wrapped up in orchid leaves
Tangle all the twine
This wool, it will survive
Your flesh and bones
This doll's been brought to life
Wrapped up in orchid leaves
Tangle all the twine
This wool, it will survive
This wool, it will survive
In time

I think it's;
Charred away Your flesh and bones This doll's been brought to life Wrapped up in orchid leaves Tangled in twine This womb, it will survive
Miss Havisham is a character from Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations" It fits her quite well.... Great song.
Ya, it's defintely about her, but I don't really get the "this womb it will survive" part, cause she had adopted a child, and also Miss Havisham died after the fire (though not in it, so that could be it.) Right?
meh, i don't get this but my thirteen year old sister is reading it, she's a genius :S
If you ask me not knowing any thing about Miss Havisham is it makes me think of adam and eve. if you look at the chorus: "Charred away Your flesh and bones This doll's been brought to life Wrapped up in orchid leaves Tangle all the twine This wool, it will survive" charred away you flesh and bones would me well... char. then the dolls that where brought to life would be adam and eve, and the tangled twine and orchid leaves would be there closes that they made after they had eaten the apple. "Focused and fixed on your ribs Would you break from within" adams rib that was taken to make eve, being broken by god b/c of eating the apple. "This wool, it will survive In time" which i think should be Wound not wool, would be their sin but how humanity will survive...
Thats my take! but this should be wrong though just because it has nothing to do with the title... sooo hope you enjoyed this.
It's wool as in like lamb's wool, as in Jesus is the lamb of God who's Blood covers sin. I think. OR it's wool as in she works in a factory and makes wool... I've never read Great Expectations so I wouldn't know.
