about

A song for the RPM Challenge. My friend Guy Capecelatro III posed the topic of "letters unwritten" for a local compilation.

lyrics

​sliced my finger with the envelope
I soaked the wound to make it soft
when I went to read
oh
the water had seeped
forming red ink into a blotch
now what's to see in the rorschach test?
is it face
well
maybe it's mine?
vision dying and blurred at best
it happens when you read between the lines
when the magnets start to switch
don't read into it
all of these pigeons, I got a dove
return to sender, you've had enough
who bites their tongue when there is so much left to say?
I guess that's just the way
things will stay
like licking strips of off white glue
when it seals it's like cement
how's it supposed to taste?
no saliva to waste
stealing the dew from your breath
now what's the deal? I hear you're doing
well
hence why my questions never last
plans had changed and something fell
well
who was waiting for who to ask?
all of these pigeons, I got a dove
return to sender, you've had enough
who bites their tongue when there is so much left to say?
I guess that's just the way
things will stay
