slow gherkin - letterhead lyrics

Loading...

so much wisdom, you shouldn’t bother
don’t need to know that i’m just like my father
mother tells me i hold my liquor well
tells me some things i would never tell
when i ask her how to say when i mean to say to you
she says, “what’s the point? keep it locked inside.”

this is the letterhead i never sent
its corners curled inside my head
call me letterhead

so much impact in a single word
shortest breakup that i ever heard
quick to receieve, endless to respond
words did not count, not a single one
now with shields of time and sp-ce
i sit with a prisitne postcard
but my tongue lies still except to l!ck the stamp

this is the letterhead i never sent
i write a page each night in bed
call me letterhead

i’d tell it to your face: i’m bad, i know, but you are worse
i kid myself, i wouldn’t dare disturb the universe
instead i’ll file it away, we all do what we know is wrong
each sentence, each word, each letter is a letter bomb

i’ve made a home here no one knows about
this dead-letter office whose fire has fl!ckered out

now i remember how to say with i never said to you
and i cherish it, spared the embarr-ssment

this is the letterhead i never sent
its corners curled inside my head
we are young and blind, so unrefined
our vision fades the more we try
just call me letterhead
(s.w.a.l.k.)
