Sickbed Lyrics
my eyes are becoming yellow curtains.
paint the window,
stain the ceiling feverish green.
my visitors smoked cigarettes
and ate all the things that had me feeling unwell.
everything that came out of me was wrong-colored,
or wasn't at all.
the voices below rise through the window,
failing to make me well.
knocking on the door from the inside,
taking pictures of my room one last time.
i can't live, without.
paint the window,
stain the ceiling feverish green.
my visitors smoked cigarettes
and ate all the things that had me feeling unwell.
everything that came out of me was wrong-colored,
or wasn't at all.
failing to make me well.
knocking on the door from the inside,
taking pictures of my room one last time.
i can't live, without.

the song in its entirety just amazes me...
just so... right...
i love it :)
amazingly beautifully sad.
I still don't know how she does that final 'go'.
The line 'my visitors smoked cigarettes and ate all the things that had me feeling unwell' confounds me, but never fails to resonate in my head.
For those who don't know, this song was inspired by Kyle's bout with Hepatitis A while staying in Germany.
