Tie Me Up! Untie Me!

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 geting old...

It goes on but it's old.

I was swimming through the waves

For what must have been day

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 subtlely, so easily missed!"

You, my hidden pearl of pure and perfect love

And I'm a living example of 100 percent the oppisite 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 leade 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 five months.
