I was looking at the leaves climbing to the tops
of the trees, but you were nowhere to be found.
Just beneath all the green you were buried like
a little seed among the roots and underground.

I was licking at the leaves, but I was in short
sleeves and you, you were like some sickness
that I caught.
My sweetheart moved away, swept off like
garbage in the alleyway.

I need more grace than I thought.

Brother, I'm far away from everything good!
SHe's like a hot cloth on a fevered head and
like a needle she leads me.
(well, I follow like thread)

Tie me up! Untie me!
All this wishing I was dead is getting old...
It goes on, but it's old.

I was swimming through the waves for what
must have been days, but could find no relief.
When I started sinking down I thought for
certain I would drown until I saw you in the
ocean.
Underneath all the bright colored fish tell of a
treasure in a dull shell.

"Such subtlety, so easily missed!"

You, my hidden pearl and perfect love and I'm
a living example of 100% the opposite of this.
If I ask the same questions well maybe I
repeat myself from time to time, but it's
because everyone who answers me is a liar.

She's like a hot cloth on a fevered head and
like a needle she leads me.
(well I follow like thread)
But you untied me.

Didn't you untie me, Lord?
And now I haven't even thought about
killing myself in almost 5 months.
