Evergreen

Picked you out
 Cut 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
 Tell me what is missing in my mind
 I feel the problem is essential
 It's memory is blackening my mind
 I'm taking everything back
 Evergreen
 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
 Tell me what is missing in my mind
 I feel the problem is essential
 It's memory is blackening my mind
 I'm taking everything back
 Evergreen
 Tell me what is written in your eyes
 I feel the problem is essential
 My memory is keeping me alive
 I'm taking everything back
