Who doesn't love a good cry every now and then?
This is the song that has been making me cry
all week long.
WHY YOU ASK?
Take a look...or perhaps a listen?
*WARNING IF YOU ARE AN EMOTIONAL WRECK
THAN THIS MIGHT BE WERE YOU STOP READING!!!
Sufjan Steven recently lost his mother and well, the album
is all about - just that.
It makes ME think about my family and the people that I love.
"The Only Thing"
The only thing that keeps me from driving this car
Half-light, jack knife into the canyon at night
Signs and wonders: Perseus aligned with the skull
Slain Medusa, Pegasus alight from us all
Do I care if I survive this?
Half-light, jack knife into the canyon at night
Signs and wonders: Perseus aligned with the skull
Slain Medusa, Pegasus alight from us all
Do I care if I survive this?
Bury the dead where they’re found
In a veil of great surprises; I wonder did you love me at all?
The only thing that keeps me from cutting my arm
Cross hatch, warm bath, Holiday Inn after dark
Signs and wonders: water stain writing the wall
Daniel’s message; blood of the moon on us all
Do I care if I despise this?
In a veil of great surprises; I wonder did you love me at all?
The only thing that keeps me from cutting my arm
Cross hatch, warm bath, Holiday Inn after dark
Signs and wonders: water stain writing the wall
Daniel’s message; blood of the moon on us all
Do I care if I despise this?
Nothing else matters, I know
In a veil of great disguises; how do I live with your ghost?
Should I tear my eyes out now?
Everything I see returns to you somehow
Should I tear my heart out now?
Everything I feel returns to you somehow
I want to save you from your sorrow
The only reason why I continue at all
Faith in reason, I wasted my life playing dumb
Signs and wonders: sea lion caves in the dark
Blind faith, God’s grace, nothing else left to impart
Do I care if I survive this,
In a veil of great disguises; how do I live with your ghost?
Should I tear my eyes out now?
Everything I see returns to you somehow
Should I tear my heart out now?
Everything I feel returns to you somehow
I want to save you from your sorrow
The only reason why I continue at all
Faith in reason, I wasted my life playing dumb
Signs and wonders: sea lion caves in the dark
Blind faith, God’s grace, nothing else left to impart
Do I care if I survive this,
bury the dead where they’re found
In a veil of great surprises;
In a veil of great surprises;
hold to my head till I drown
Should I tear my eyes out now,
Should I tear my eyes out now,
before I see too much?
Should I tear my arms out now,
Should I tear my arms out now,
I wanna feel your touch
Should I tear my eyes out now?
Everything I see returns to you somehowShould I tear my heart out now?
Everything I feel returns to you somehow
Should I tear my eyes out now?
Everything I see returns to you somehowShould I tear my heart out now?
Everything I feel returns to you somehow
*Red lines are ones that hit home for me
So...yeah.
The apartment this has been full of Sufjan Stevens musics,
lots of tears and some
very productive time in the kitchen...
making vegan energy balls.
Just saying.
Feeling like a "tired old mare"
Thanks Sufjan~!
