Verse
A#m F
My brother finds comfort in calculators
A#m F
He assigns every number a name
A#m F
He believes that they add up to certainty
A#m F
And he is upset with fractions that remain
A#m F
So I examine the maps with my eyes and at best
A#m F
I can trace with my finger all the way
A#m F
To that town where she went an attempt to forget
A#m F A#m
The cracks and the lines of my face
[Verse 2]
A#m F
So Jetsabel cleaned out the closets for me
A#m F
And she piled the boxes in the hall
A#m F
Tomorrow when she wakes she'll come take them away
A#m F
And they will never haunt me again
A#m F
But it is still hard to sleep with the moon's heavy beams
A#m F
I run barefoot to the backyard
A#m F
Just to freeze in my place by the rod iron gate
A#m F A#m
Too ashamed and afraid to advance

[Verse 3]
A#m F
Today I walked through the snow and found a field of headstones
A#m F
They were in rows like the weeks on calendars
A#m F
Where each box is a day that you can ever escape
A#m F A#m
Without pills for your poisonous sleep
A#m F
Now, these memories leak from these faucets that weep
A#m F
Hot tears splash against the shower floor
A#m F
And I stand in the steam as if inside a dream
A#m F
I can see her again by the sink
[Verse 4]
A#m F
From behind the bathroom mirror she pulls a thermometer
A#m F
And placed it underneath my tounge
A#m F
She said, "You are as pale as a sheet, you look awful my sweet
A#m F
Lay down and wait for the sun"
A#m F
So I stayed in that bed, she brought me water and read
A#m F
Each night from a volume out loud
A#m F
She whispered soft poetry, her favorite was Anabel Lee
A#m F
And those words, like these drugs, comforted me
[Verse 5]
A#m F
But the clocks kept waving their hands and she could not understand
A#m F
Why my temperature would never drop
A#m F
And although she promised with tears that she would always be here
A#m F A#m
I heard truth like the sounding sea
A#m F
I said, "My Arienette, oh, how soon you'll forget
A#m F
This house will never be your home
A#m F
And you will leave in the fall when the trees become graves
A#m F A#m
And their color lie dead in the grass"
[Chorus]
F A7
Gold and green torture me
Dm
Like the lies, like the lies, like the lies
C7
I believe too easily
F A7
Oh my Jetsabel, look at this hell that I have made
Dm
If you want maybe drop by sometime
C7
Put some flowers on my grave
F A7
So that I will look beautiful in my silent sepulchur
Dm
Yeah, that's fine, throw those dresses away
C7 F
I don't want anything of hers
[Outro]
A#m F
For the moon never shines
A#m F
And the stars never rise
A#m F
Without bringing me dreams
A#m N.C.
Haunted by the ghosts of those bright eyes
