Held My Head

Held my head

Like an orchid

Stayed in bed

The world outside

Is an envelope

Of cars and snow

The less I try

To be no one

The more I smoke

I highly doubt

Anyone knows that

I’m in here

And I peel the skin from off the glass

The blood stains wash away

I still can’t remember you, but I do know

That it’s raining and the blacktop is bleeding

Won’t someone please turn on the lights

And I’ll sing to these birds if I could wear

Another letter then you would all be dead

These clouds are gray I fell asleep

With anesthesia supplements

Send me off

With decoration

The soft emboss

You’re like a book

I can’t seem to get through

So I put it down

And I know this song

Will be abandoned

Before it’s through

And I peel the skin from off the glass

The blood stains wash away

I still can’t remember you, but I do know

That it’s raining and the blacktop is bleeding

Won’t someone please turn on the lights

And I’ll sing to these birds if I could wear

Another letter then you would all be dead

These clouds are gray I fell asleep

With anesthesia supplements

And this was just the first time
