The Barr Brothers - 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
