about

2nd track from the LP "With Envy & Absinthe"

lyrics

There's this novel I read slowly, born from the cancer lens.
I take it in pieces like I catalogue my sins.
Your words hold suspense but no surprise.
I read, pen in hand, with the green in my eyes.

I don't like it so I think I'll mark it through.
Or better yet exploit it 'till my green becomes a blue.

Circle their faults, place them over the pit falls.
And shake, shake, shake your head.
Your one-sided war is as good as dead.

There's this picture I paint morosely, with envy and absinthe..
I drink in movements and write to fake defend.
Your man is a mess but he holds my guise.
I paint, drink in hand, with this pain in my side.

I don't like him so I think I'll hate me too.
Or better yet play him 'till one becomes a two.

Darken my faults, drunken slurs yield tactless calls.
And take, take, back what I said.
Heroes become villains as she sprawls across the bed.

Cross that bridge to procure that itch.
You can scratch and scratch at it.
But you'll never mix a perfect fix.

I'm coming closer to the mother mary while I'm up under the green fairy.
