Ceramic tile, flourescents,
Yellow iodine
I can feel your presence
Sedated by the heavy medicine
Come around
Please come around
The flowers aren't worth keeping
The roses broke my skin
I'll pretend your sleeping
Or you fainted from the lack of oxygen
Come around
Come around
Don't leave me here to let you down
Now I'm going home
I've been patient I've waited a lifetime
Now I'm going home
I am tired I've waited a lifetime
Sentimental letters
Brightly colored ink
Saying 'please get better'
I placed them by the lilies in the sink
Come around
Come around
Don't leave me here to let you down
If you could feel it I'd give a kiss
If it would get through I'd whisper this
'Not while you're sleeping In my safekeeping'
Fading iridescence
From your silhouette
Sterile luminescence
I haven't given up on you just yet
