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
