i keep it written on a locket and
pinned into my jacket pocket, these silver shapes who spell your
name loom around.  and i sing it to myself so i don't forget the
sound.  i took a chance on highway driving with the sadness
packed in to the side of me that planted pills in the beautiful gar-
den i grew of love for you, oh how i watered it with tears so 
blue.  see i knew a girl who never cried, so i painted my room
the color of her eyes.  like a fortress, or a blown up portrait in
blue, or some strange womb or tearless tomb.  it's easy now just
forget about it.  i start again every day without it.  with a new
lease on life, i'll forget about it.  but it's all around still.  a new
lease on life, i've forgotten, i've off-ed it.  i can see you through
the window light.  me and the shadow-kids go dumpster diving
all for nothing, we'll still go hungry tonight.  the world outside is
silver-white.  but it's easy now to forget about it.  i start again
every day without it.  i've a new lease on life, i'd forget about it
but it's all around still.  i've a new lease on life, i've forgotten.  i
promise.  i promise.
