Ariel Pink
Envelopes Another Day
[Verse 1]
Foreshadow my papers
Dress the living room
With your tears and a smile
A clash of clay
Drops to the ground
When you miss, you kiss
New wounds
[Verse 2]
Used to be all your silly notes that
Came around and reversed my soul
Envelopes emptied, they're closed
On another day
[Pre-Chorus 1]
They came to you
The picture's all that's left of you
And I never knew what to remove
Can a poison pen run
Can a poison pen loan me a wet lung soon?
[Chorus]
In the grave silence
In the grave silence
In the grave silence
You're locked in love
In the grave silence
In the grave silence
In the grave silence
You're locked in love
[Verse 3]
Drapes were drawn
When I let you in
But you were never invited
[Verse 4]
Cautious moving through an alien chamber
But the air is gonna hurt if I wet my suit, so
Don't stay, go back away to the moon
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Send me the postcard just as soon
And the bird clock ticks on afternoon
Curfew's past, back to the tomb
There's a tomb, with your name
And date and time of doom
[Chorus]
In the grave silence
In the grave silence
In the grave silence
You're locked in love
Grave silence
In the grave silence
In the grave silence
You're locked in love
Grave silence
In the grave silence
In the grave silence
We're locked in love
[Verse 5]
I'll buy the envelopes on another day
When your blood makes stamp stick
Drop the papers on your child's head
[Pre-Chorus 3]
The warmest color of the dead
The blackest white you've ever read
And the crooner's vanity instead
With a warrior's face
And an arm and a crossbow head
[Chorus]
Grave silence
In the grave silence
In the grave silence
You're locked in love
Grave silence
In the grave silence
In the grave silence
You're locked in love
In the grave, grave silence
In the grave silence
In the grave silence
You're locked in love
[Outro]
Locked in love
Silence!
Silence, ooh
