porcelain spreads, oh how she wept
nothing more to fill, nothing hers is left

take the garden, every last part 
a vacant body, visitor heart
she breathes in, oh it is staying in
she breathes in, again and again

     II. Dolls Dear Youth

take my garden, visitor heart
i breathe in, every last part
