Tie Me Up! Untie Me! Lyrics

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 wavesMe Without You - Tie Me Up! Untie Me! - http://motolyrics.com/me-without-you/tie-me-up-untie-me-lyrics.html
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
