Red Paper Bag

from Cocooned by Sarah Fimm

/

lyrics

So a red paper bag
Broke my heart today
No one knows that it came
From your hands
The blood is still perched
By the third letter from the right

The red paper bag
Has been tucked away
Safe from supply and demand
But if I dare delight
In its beauty I might
Just keep dying again and again

So the red paper bag
Tries to call to me
As a tear
Drowns an ant on the floor
I suppose it is worse
To indulge in a curse than to fight

But I'm just about dead
From this tragedy
Or am I
She says with a grin
I find out what it’s worth
Just by finding out how much
It hurts
And the state I'm in

I'll just put the two corners together
My soul plays a grave for the night
As I bury my head in the pillows he says
Perhaps in another life
