lyrics

I can't see the sun but I still can find a light
In the sky, in the sky
In heaven any time I like and

Gazing through a hazy glass I falter
And step down
Into the grass that I know has to be
Under all this snow

Younger lives with flashing knives and
Slick black blood under my ribs can slide under
An old and dusty yet gossamer
Curtain curving certain in its movements guided by
so much heavy wind

Well every old folk song I love
Ends with heartbreak or in a cedar box
There's no abstraction or any cure and if
That's the end of all of this then I'm not sure that I want to
call myself a
Folk singer

Jumping down into a well
after running from this heavy
Panting hell of words and phrases that held my hand
To its chest and

At the bottom I realize all I could have learned
From that man
At the bottom I realize maybe I misjudged
that man and
At the bottom I realize that I want to consume
An entire galaxy

At the bottom I realize
That was no devil chasing me
At the bottom I realized that was
No devil

Maybe I'll call myself an artist or
conscious mind or devil or
a driver or revolver or
just another chump who got chased into a well

Well every old folk song I love
Ends with heartbreak or in a cedar box
There's no abstraction or any cure and if
That's the end of all of this then I'm not sure that I want to
call myself a folk singer

Well every old folk song I love
Ends with heartbreak or in a cedar box
There's no abstraction or any cure and if
That's the end of all of this then I'm not sure that I want to
call myself a folk singer
