Little Whites

My little whites, you're nothing more

But if I didn't need you before, God knows I'm going to need you now

I fed you up, I built you strong

But you won't hold firm for long

I'm sure that we'll be flooded soon

Whenever that day arrives

When my guts are swelling up

If they breach my lips then they won't stop spilling

Like wildfire, you ruined my good name around this town and it won't stop spreading:

I know you will, so I won't ever have to try

Honesty has died a thousand deaths tonight so that I could survive

All of this work for idle eyes

You do me proud, my little whites

Sail thou forth to seek and find

God knows, if you'll be coming home

I dressed you up, I raised you well

We'll be remembered for the way we sell ourselves... and not the way we are

Stop little whites, don't spiral into each other

If one of you subsides then that's the rest of us done for
