Rainbow Sleeve

When you make your leave,
Pull up your rainbow sleeve 
Red leaves
Green sleeves
I really wanna touch it
My Heart Grieves in This Perilous Pit 
Cuz you're on my mind
You're on my mind
On my mind
My mind's eye 
A treasured find
I really can't...deny

And I can't 
I can't hold on 
For dear life
I can't 
I can't go on
With this life of strife 
Wanting to feel your sleeves
For real, you're my four seasons...my soul grieves...
For you alone
I, alone, weep for you...a brittle bone 
Only for you...
Numb and blue

I call on you when I need help
I say thank you in an echoing yelp
Help me deal with me properly...rightfully 
Or I'll be nothing but worthless de-debris
Please ea-ease me
Please don't be a tease 
Please release me
Please don't desert me...I deserve better than this maltreatment...so please 
Ease my mind from worry
Don't scurry, don't you dare hurry...blurry uncertainty 
Takes a huge hold of me...not close to empty, but baby you are more than plenty 

I shutter and faint when I think of you
I melt like butter and I adore you too

Bang me like a drum
Drink me up like rum 

I'm feeling insecure and numb...I'm the floor gum
Because someone made me feel worthless dumb 
When you make your leave,
Pull up your rainbow sleeve 
Red leaves
Green sleeves
I really wanna touch it
My Heart Grieves in This Perilous Pit 
Cuz you're on my mind
You're on my mind
On my mind
My mind's eye 
A treasured find
I really can't...deny

Me hideous beautiful...me ugly wonderful 
Can't match up to your stands of flawless plentiful 

You're the rainbow in the Aqua-blue Sky
And what I am to you? Tell me, darling, why...
Why do you take the spotlight from me?
Why do I receive close to nothing, baby?

Do I not mean anything to you?
Am I something more than what meets the eyes?
I bet you haven't had any clue
That I can't, oh no I can't, get over you, despite the endless tries
Oh no, how hard I tried
To forget and forgive 
Oh yeah, your hello got goodbyed 
Let go and let live

give in and let die...and you decided to take your life
you chose so thoughtlessly 
well, I can't lie...well, you were my bittersweet mixture of peace and strife
I fell for you regrettably
