Left Hand Smear

about

This song is about writing songs.

lyrics

Put it down as it comes
Shape the ink as it runs
Let the page disappear
Make it frighteningly clear

Put the feeling to rest
Watch it all coalesce
Lose it under your hand
Never read it again

I'm the left hand smear
Chasing you across the page
I will be right here
Erasing everything you make

I'm the left hand smear
And no matter how you slave
I will be right here
You will take me to your grave

Keep it all in your head
Take an Advil instead
Let the page remain white
Watch it fade with the light

Hold the feeling inside
Give it someplace to hide
Think of it time to time
In between every line

I'm the left hand smear
Chasing you across the page
I will be right here
Erasing everything you make

I'm the left hand smear
And no matter how you slave
I will be right here
You will take me to your grave

Put it down as it comes
Shape the ink as it runs
Lose it under your hand
Never read it again
