Picture Of Health - Parquet Courts

My last guilt-themed solicitation

Delivered slowly in hesitation

It could not soothe me, could not seduce me

Into repainting these strokes so loosely

How I remember my ex-blue t-shirt

Where the hole in it fell

Plain-dressed, wilting and wired

You were the picture of health

Wine glass drowning, postponed narration

Make every new drag no mere frustration

I fell in debt to those country crooners

Mourning lost love like Spanish funerals

Dye the grey hair you grew in secret

To a root-colored shell

Frozen mid-sentenced smile

You were the picture of health

No prognosis implied

You were the picture of health

Plain-dressed, wilting and wired

You were the picture of health
