I was looking at the leaves climbing to the tops of the trees but you were nowhere to be found.
Just beneath all the green you were buried like a little seed among the roots and underground.
I was licking at the leaves, but I was in short sleeves and you, you were like some sickness that I caught.
My sweetheart moved away, swept off like garbage in the ally way - I need more grace than I though.
Brother, I'm far away from everything good!
She's like a hot cloth on my fevered head and like a needle she leads me away from everything good (Well, I follow like a thread)
Tie me up! Untie me! All this wishing I was dead is getting old... it goes on but it's old.
I was swimming through the waves for must have been days but I could find no relief.
When I started sinking down I thought for certain I would drown until I saw you in the ocean underneath all the bright colored fish
Tell of a treasure in a dull shell.
"Such subtlety, so easily missed!"
You, my hidden pearl of pure and perfect love and I'm living example of 100% the opposite of this.
If I ask the same questions well maybe I repeat myself from time to time.
But it's because everyone who answers me is a liar.
She's like a hot cloth on a fevered head and like a needle she leads me
(Well, I follow like a thread)
But you untie me - didn't you untie me, lord?
And now I haven't even thought about killing myself in almost five months.
Just beneath all the green you were buried like a little seed among the roots and underground.
I was licking at the leaves, but I was in short sleeves and you, you were like some sickness that I caught.
My sweetheart moved away, swept off like garbage in the ally way - I need more grace than I though.
Brother, I'm far away from everything good!
She's like a hot cloth on my fevered head and like a needle she leads me away from everything good (Well, I follow like a thread)
Tie me up! Untie me! All this wishing I was dead is getting old... it goes on but it's old.
I was swimming through the waves for must have been days but I could find no relief.
When I started sinking down I thought for certain I would drown until I saw you in the ocean underneath all the bright colored fish
Tell of a treasure in a dull shell.
"Such subtlety, so easily missed!"
You, my hidden pearl of pure and perfect love and I'm living example of 100% the opposite of this.
If I ask the same questions well maybe I repeat myself from time to time.
But it's because everyone who answers me is a liar.
She's like a hot cloth on a fevered head and like a needle she leads me
(Well, I follow like a thread)
But you untie me - didn't you untie me, lord?
And now I haven't even thought about killing myself in almost five months.

However, I also think this is a reference to the film "Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!", check it out
"I was looking at the leaves climbing to the tops of the trees but you were nowhere to be found.
Just beneath all the green you were buried like a little seed among the roots and underground."
He was looking for God, in places he thought were obvious- probably through what he thought were good deeds and a 'righteous' life.
His "sweetheart moved away"...
This is a dark period in aaron's life.
"...and like a needle she leads me away from everything good. Tie me up! Untie me! All this wishing I was dead is getting old... it goes on but it's old."
Even though this person is not a good influence (he refers to himself as a submissive thread, and she takes advantage of this and uses him), he is obsessed with her and a depression consumes him.
"When I started sinking down I thought for certain I would drown until I saw you in the ocean underneath all the bright colored fish
Tell of a treasure in a dull shell."
Just when he thinks he can't take it anymore, he finds God. He is the treasure in a dull shell - precious to God.
"You, my hidden pearl of pure and perfect love and I'm living example of 100% the opposite of this."
God is perfect, pure Love. He lets God take over - and he is transformed, totally.
He ends by saying that God "untied" him from this unhealthy relationship and mindset and he no longer needs her or feels suicidal.
could be wrong though.
"all this wishing i was dead is getting old,it goes on but it's old"
to me it means that he is tired of being tempted and wishing he could do sinful things
