The mint upon the pillow, is that I leave without a visual clue.
The cherry on the top, my absence is known only to you.
The credits roll, we rise and turn to go,
and paths fork off like two trails in the snow.
The last page holds some scrawls in invisible ink,
The world moves on and no one has to think..
or discover.....
uncover, commiserate with fate,
put a finger to the flame
collect commission on your claim
no one is factious or cautious
strong willed or nauseous
emotional sickness will toss us
about
till we find out we lost.
(x4) No one is in time, I feel my senses slowing down.
senses slowing down
The little silver streak is that your exit burst a hole in the dark.
The summit on the peak is that the bite is the same as the bark.
The torture and the sweetness is the same,
but now I have control over the pain.
You’ve written me a note in invisible ink,
I move where no one ever has to think..
or discover.....
uncover, commiserate with fate,
put a finger to the flame
collect commission on your claim
no one is factious or cautious
strong willed or nauseous
emotional sickness will toss us
about
till we find out we lost.
(x8) No one is in time, I feel my senses slowing down.
(x5) senses slowing down
(x5) till we find out we lost

Neo Eclectic, Soul Reflected, Sounds From Real Life!
Born in the glory and pageant of the
noble working cities of Boise, Cleveland, Schenectady, Boston and Syracuse, "The Heartsleeves" is the voice of the no frills sincerity of real world American life.
We write our songs live, and refine them into a melancholy powder of sweet painful regret and sprinkle it on hearty soul pop....more
My buddy Ben is living the bass in this band that is fighting the good fight to bring back real, high quality, make you leap out of your pants, SOUL music. The Heartsleeves
