Tie Me Up! Untie Me! Lyrics - Me Without You

I was looking at the leaves 

Climbing to the tops of the trees 

But you were nowhere to be found 

Just beneath all the green 

You were buried like a little seed 

Among the roots and underground 

I was licking at the leaves 

But I was in short sleeves and you 

You were like some sickness that I caught 

My sweetheart moved away 

Swept off like garbage in the alleyway 

And, I need more grace than I thought 

'Coz brother, I'm far, brother, I'm far away 

Brother, I'm far away from everything 

Oh, brother, I'm far, brother, I'm far away 

Brother, I'm far away from everything good 

She's like a hot cloth on a fevered head 

And like a needle, she leads me 

Well, I follow like thread 

Tie me up, untie me 

All this wishing I was dead, it's getting old 

It's getting old, it goes on but it's old 

I was swimming through the waves 

For what must have been days 

But could find no relief 

When I started sinking down 

I thought for certain I would drown 

Until I saw you in the ocean, underneath 

All the bright colored fish 

Tell of a treasure in a dull shell 

Such subtlety, so easily missed 

You, my hidden pearl of pure and perfect love 

And I'm the living example 

Of 100 percent the opposite of this 

And if I ask the same questions 

Will you say I ask the same questions 

Well maybe I repeat myself from time to time 

And if I ask the same questions 

And I know I ask the same questions 

It's 'coz everyone who answers me is a liar 

She's like a hot cloth on a fevered head 

And like a needle she leads me 

Well, I follow like thread 

But you untied me, didn't you untie me, Lord? 

And now I haven't even thought about 

Killing myself in almost five months
