Dissolve

[Verse 1]

The wind carries us home

Tin cans, recycled air, end the minstrels’ roam

Reunite body and mind

The walls left broken and crumbling

Oh but what did you expect, gone for seasons at a time

I’ve closed my eyes to dream

Woken only to have lost the spring

To bags, cases, and hearts on our sleeves

Held them high so they could watch them bleed

Held them high so they could watch them bleed

Held them high so they could watch them bleed



[Chorus]

And I wear my heart on my sleeve

So you can watch it bleed

And I wear my heart on my sleeve

So you can watch it bleed

Watch it bleed

Watch it bleed



[Verse 2]

From up here the land, a patchwork quilt

Sewn together by arthritic hands

Pursuit of passion; persistent guilt

Anxious for loving embrace

Dissolve this ache I’ve felt

Dissolve this ache I’ve felt



[Verse 3]

How could you have looked and seen anything but compassion

Left to watch alone, jealous of false attentions

You’d felt it in my touch, tasted it in my kiss

And still, darling, you screamed my affections were passionless

Despite every example of devotion, every memory made

You still succumbed to boredom, you let the pictures fade

You let the pictures fade

You let the pictures fade



[Chorus]

And I wear my heart on my sleeve

So you can watch it bleed

Watch it bleed

Watch it bleed

And I wear my heart on my sleeve

So you can watch it bleed

Watch it bleed

(Oh)



[Instrumental]



And I wear my heart on my sleeve

So you can watch it bleed

Watch it bleed

Watch it bleed
