lyrics

I brush my teeth for the first time
In who knows how many days
We’ve been living like wild animals
Eat, sleep, sustain

This life that I created
Takes all I have to survive
If only we lived as long
as the things we make to keep us alive

Why do we make things from plastic
When they’ll ever be is replaced
I should have made you from plastic
What else can I do to keep you safe
Who would make something just to throw it away
It’s all such a beautiful waste
It’s all such a beautiful waste

I’ve been counting your eyelashes
While time melts away
How to soak up each second of every day
Without being washed away
And when those waves come crashing in
There’s just no way we’ll survive
If only we could be built to last
Instead of born to die

I should have made you from plastic
What else can I do to keep you safe
Why do we make things from plastic
When all they’ll ever be is replaced
Who would make something just to throw it away
It’s all such a beautiful waste
It’s all such a beautiful waste

It’s a fearful thing to love what death can touch
Tell me why on earth would I make something I love so much

I should have made you from plastic
What else can I do to keep you safe
Why do we make things from plastic
When all they’ll ever be is replaced
I should have made you….

The renditions of these songs are so beautiful and raw. While I love the originals, these stripped down versions show so much feeling from Laura and it just pierces your soul. Love love love. Thanks! supashoppa
