  Jewel – Carnivore Lyrics
  
  So much space can fit in a sigh
  More than words can say
  I'm left here standing with my hands all awkward
  Trying to mend space
  I used to know you
  But not anymore
  Your substance has been subtracted
  Word by word
  
  Silence in my ears where once you offered your conviction
  Your promises are dry beads that crack with nostalgia
  But that's alright, that's okay
  Never shoulda given myself to you anyway
  Never trust your pink fleshy heart
  Never trust your pink fleshy heart
  To a carnivore
  To a carnivore
  
  Your soul is an ink stain
  Your perfection is a mend
  And you're as fragile as your thoughtlessness
  But you're as strong as you can bend
  You could only believe in embryos
  So you held all your high hopes through a telescope
  And lavender haunted you
  So I could only laugh in yellow
  Yes, you have a genius for subtlety
  I slip through the fingers of your ambiguity
  
  But that's alright, that's okay
  Never shoulda given myself to you anyway
  Never trust your pink fleshy heart
  Never trust your pink fleshy heart
  To a carnivore
  
  And I don't know what I did
  But I won't do it again
  This time I'll be my own best friend
  And I take back my songs and my poetry
  Next time I won't be so easy to read
  
  And I'll never trust my pink fleshy
  No
  Never trust my pink fleshy heart
  No
  Never trust my pink fleshy heart
  To a carnivore
  To a carnivore
  To a carnivore

  “Carnivore,” by Jewel Murray.
  
  “I’d forgotten I’d changed the bridge over time into this low, mellow little-red-riding hook spooky bridge and I didn’t realize there was ever another bridge over time. My fans on Twitter reminded me to go back to the original bridge on “it.  I was sent a bootleg of it and now it’s more dynamic. My fans speak up a lot. They really wanted “Carnivore” on the album.”

• Are we resigning to the fact that we prob won't get band studio carnivore? I want it, but I think my new huge Jewel CD for my car is going to have to stay with some old 90s bootleg of Carnivore with a band, and maybe a more recent live version.

• Best line in that song:
  
  "Lavender haunted you, so I could only laugh in yellow"
  
  What a great description of what it's like to have to walk on eggshells with someone.

• That's always been my favorite line in the song
  
  It reminds me of that line in Painters about blueprints being too sad, so they make them yellow.

• Love the verses in this song. they're so appropriate to any dying or stagnant relationship. I love the lavender line and the genius for subtlety/fingers of ambiguity phrase. So appropriate to my relationship right now.

• Such a powerful song with raw lyrics that Jewel always delivers with such passion!  She sure has a way with words.

• Could you imagine Major Lazer of someone having a go at this song? It could be a huge club hit with the right production.
