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
