Ceramic tile, fluorescents,
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 you 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 of waiting 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 you 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 of waiting a lifetime
If you could feel it I'd give a kiss
If it would , I'd whisper this
"Not while you're sleeping in my safe keeping"
Faded iridescence
From your silhouette
Sterile luminescence
I haven't given up on you just yet
