Underneath your doormat I left you a note Taking you with me in the sidewalks down Over the Plymouth horizon 1926 Seventy doves and an albatross Seeing you here is my only wish Underneath your doormat I left you a note And in its pages words that I shouldn't have wrote

Often times I wonder if what's found can not be found Are the facts and figures in my head unknowable unsound And if I could only tell you the horrors I have seen All the evil that this world does hold can wipe any slate clean I am clean And I have listened closely to the sounds the forests make to the words they whisper in my ear and its all that I can take I am through with going nowhere I'm through with slowing down I don't know just where I'm going but I know I'm going now Evening falls in February snow fresh on the ground All infinite colors in disguise There the wilted flowers in the evening will go down Holding all their petals in our eyes Our infinite colors in disguise

Bleach 03:51
Your eyes are on backwards as your painting the sky with me I'm staring at your half I'm certain to see what you see My darling you really are lost But darling I will not give up Our shadows are sleeping but our bodies insist that we drink You're tired and trembling I empty my heart so you'll blink My darling well what'll I do Cause darling I'm only so new Tying all my thoughts I'm tying all my dreams to your ankles I'm wrapping all my love through all your broken limbs but it's tangled You're tearing the tapestry you're tearing out all of my thread I'll show you the pattern I'll show you I've done what it said Here darling I'll mend your fall While darling you rip a new hole Your eyes are still backwards and your paints have all start to run white Your conscience is leaking it's pouring out all your insides Taking out the trash I'm cleaning up all of your spills I'm running out of bleach and with what I have left oh I'd kill My darling we really have lost So darling let's put down the brush

Go 03:19
Move in close dear and I'll tell you something I've tried to forget The only thing that I haven't told you about me yet It's been this way for years though I have all but forgotten it now Move in close dear and I'll tell you something I've learned to regret The only thing that I wish I had never left unsaid It's haunted me for years though I am not sure I can let it go I move my feet around pacing all these halls I catch your gaze My tongue and stomach both in knots Your efforts to until them futile still The sparrows in your eyes pierce into my thoughts I can't escape You want to know what plagues my thoughts But I as sure as hell will never tell
