lyrics
Missive from old and remote
Had to skirt past the centuries standing round
I hope that you’re better than I been
But I couldn't say nothing, burned in silence
My book is tore up and worn
Couldn't make a new entry
Dark lines from folding where I have been
Up to my mythmaking, treasure mapping
My heart is sewn up and sore
You had to pull at the stitches all poking out
You wrote a letter that severed em
Now my souvenir sutures split and spattered
All down my arm and on my palm
Blood on my hand
Warm and wet
Had to skirt past the centuries standing round
I hope that you’re better than I been
But I couldn't say nothing, burned in silence
My book is tore up and worn
Couldn't make a new entry
Dark lines from folding where I have been
Up to my mythmaking, treasure mapping
My heart is sewn up and sore
You had to pull at the stitches all poking out
You wrote a letter that severed em
Now my souvenir sutures split and spattered
All down my arm and on my palm
Blood on my hand
Warm and wet
