[Verse 1]
Picked you out
Dropped you off
Brought you in
Our house
Dressed you up
Took photographs
Stood around
With open mouths
Starved you of your water
Till the needles piled around
Sweeping up
The needle dust
By the light of the TV
The humor of
The metaphor
Isn't lost on me
All the water in the world
And I can't force myself to want a drink
[Chorus]
Tell me what’s missing in my mind
I fear the problem is essential
Its memory
Is blackening my mind
I'm taking everything back
Evergreen
[Verse 2]
Twist the rag
Spray the glass
Swirl the wet around
We do our
Best thinking while
We're working in this house
All the world is always staining
I can't settle till it's out
[Chorus]
Tell me what’s missing in my mind
I fear the problem is essential
Its memory
Is blackening my mind
I'm taking everything back
Evergreen
Tell me what is written in your eyes
I fear the problem is essential
My enemy
Is keeping me alive
I'm taking everything back
Evergreen
Evergreen
Evergreen
Evergreen
