Envelopes Another Day - Ariel Pink

Foreshadow my papers,

Dress the living room

With your tears and a smile

A clashing rain

Drops to the ground

When you miss, you kiss

Your wounds

Next to me are your silly notes that

Came around and reversed my soul

Envelopes empty, they’re closed

On another day

Looking for you

The picture isn’t all that’s left of you

And I never knew what to do

And it wouldn’t have been love

If it wouldn’t have been for your

Ooh, ooh

In the grave silence

I locked your love

Drapes were drawn

When I let you in

But you were never invited

come

And they ain’t cheap

If I can be late

It’s gonna hurt

If I wet my seal, so

Don’t say «Go back

The way to the moon»

Send me the postcard just as soon

And the bird clock ticks all afternoon

Curfew’s past, back in two

There’s two, with the name

And date and time

And you

In the grave silence

I locked your love

I’ll buy the envelopes on another day

When your blood makes stamp stick

Drop the papers on your child’s head

The warmest colour of the dead

The blackest white you’ve ever read

And the crooner’s man instead

With a warrior’s face

And an arm

And a crossbow head

In the grave silence

I locked your love

I didn’t love

Silence!

Silence, ooh
