- My brother finds comfort in calculators
He assigns every number a name
He believes that they add up to certainty
And he is upset with fractions that remain
So I examine these maps with my eyes and at best
I can trace with my finger all the way
To that town where she went an attempt to forget
The cracks and the lines of my face
So Jetsabel cleaned out the closets for me
And she piled the boxes in the hall
Tomorrow when she wakes she'll come take them away
And they will never haunt me again
But it is still hard to sleep with the moon's heavy beams
I run barefoot to the backyard
Just to freeze in my place by the rod iron gate
Too afraid and ashamed to advance
Today I walked through the snow and found a field of headstones
They were in rows like the weeks on calendars
Where each box is a day that you can ever escape
Without pills for your poisonous sleep
These memories leak from these faucets that weep
Hot tears splash against the shower floor
And I stand in the steam as if inside a dream
I can see her again by the sink
From behind the bathroom mirror she pulls a thermometer
And placed it underneath my tounge
She said, "You are as pale as a sheet, you look awful my sweet
Lay down and wait for the sun"
So I stayed in that bed, she brought me water and read
Each night from a volume out loud
She whispered soft poetry, her favorite was Anabel Lee
And those words, like these drugs, comforted me
But the clocks kept waving their hands and she could not understand
Why my temperature would never drop
And although she promised with tears that she would always
be here
I heard truth like the sounding sea
I said, "My Arienette, oh, how soon you'll forget
This house will never be your home
And you will leave in the fall when the trees become graves
And their color lie dead in the grass"
Gold and green torture me
Like the lies I believe too easily
Oh my Jetsabel, look at this hell that I have made
If you want maybe drop by sometime
Put some flowers on my grave
So that I will look beautiful in my silent sepulchur
Yeah, that's fine, throw those dresses away
I don't want anything of hers
For the moon never shines
And the stars never rise
Without bringing me dreams
Haunted by the ghosts of those bright eyes
It is just ridiculous how good of a songwriter Conor Oberst is.
Ikr lol.
Need this on spotify so bad
he wrote this when he was so young yet it sounds like he's experienced a lifetime of pain. now THAT'S what's I call songwriting.
breigha j. They should have put this on the Fevers and Mirrors remaster
When we’re young we face pain head on. When we grow older we learn to ignore it, hide it away under jokes and avoidance.
This song contains all the theme s that make Fevers and Mirrors a modern classic. Amazing!

It's like he took this song and turned it into a whole album.
They dont want bam margera to get hos papis baclava
How the hell does someone think of these lyrics? Genius
It's inspired by anabel lee by edgar allen poe
my arienette, oh how soon you'll forget
I named my daughter Arienette, not from this song but from Arienette. I always thought it was so beautiful.
Forgot enough
Best artist ever
Haunted by the ghost of those Bright Eyes... mic 🎤 drop
That this track wasn't included in the US/EU release of "Fevers & Mirrors" was a grave oversight. And thirteen years after first hearing it I still have no idea how to pronounce Jetsabel. Is it a Spanish name and pronounced Hetsabel? Conor pronounces it Catsabel.
Jet as in jet (the aircraft)
sabel as in "Isabel"
@@MyshKatze That's not how Conor pronounces it in the song though. He pronounces it with a 'k' for some reason.
@@deathislife1993 I just explained the correct pronunciation of the latinized fenician name
Like the lies like the lies like the lies I believe to easily...
Such an amazing song
Its not exactly the same, but my name is Jetzabel so I'll go ahead and say this song was written for me. xD
how do you pronounce it? 🤔
