Manilla

Disappointment comes Priority Mail these days
Marked by the scent of a stamp
A smell so familiar but mixed with the taste of your lips
A hand written letter
So static yet louder than any crosswords we've shouted
These formalities have to stop cause I've had it

Pen and ink are so permanent
Lasting longer
Leaving scars like a blade
I guess we'll see which one is stronger

Pen and ink are so permanent
Lasting longer
Leaving scars like a blade
I guess we'll see which one is stronger

Outlined in black and white
With the verdict delivered
I'm sure I'll never get this right

Each sentence strikes deeper than the six feet I have dug for
Or was it you that I buried
You say the distance doesn't matter
Your staged sympathy shows through this script, yeah

Your last words sealed in manila
And sent with malicious intent
Such an obvious gesture to get rid of me

Who's to choose between the two [heads?] in my life that would never fit
Abandonment was never the issue
Now was It?

Pen and ink are so permanent
Lasting longer
Leaving scars like a blade
I guess we'll see which one is stronger

Pen and ink are so permanent
Lasting longer
Leaving scars like a blade
I guess we'll see which one is stronger

Outlined in black and white
With the verdict delivered
I'm sure I'll never get this right

With the verdict delivered
I'm sure I'll never get this right
With the verdict delivered
I'm sure I'll never get this right
