"Phoenix" lyrics
"Phoenix"
(feat. Anaïs Mitchell & Fleet Foxes)
Out in the loading bay light
Watching the fog recede
Divided the flame you slowly gave to me
Sign of relief in my mind
But I only caught you the one time
Later, I'd watch you and wonder what it was like
How do you bear the full weight?
How does the long way feel
Kneading your hand too tight against the wheel?
How do you stay in that tower?
How do you reckon your own power?
How does the wheel not turn hour on hour on hour?
I was trying to find my way
I was thinking my mind was made
But you were making my heart change shape
It's all that I could take
I was trying to find my way
I was thinking my mind was made
But you were making my heart change shape
It's all that I could take
How do you bear the full weight?
How does the long way feel
Kneading your hand too tight against the wheel?
How do you stay in that tower?
How do you reckon your own power?
How does the wheel not turn hour on hour on hour?
I was trying to find my way
I was thinking my mind was made
But you were making my heart change shape
It's all that I could take now
I was trying to find my way
I was thinking my mind was made
But you were making my heart change shape
It's all that I could take now
I was trying to find my way
I was thinking my mind was made
But you were making my heart change shape
It's all that I could take now
I was trying to find my way
I was thinking my mind was made
But you were making my heart change shape
It's all that I could take now
How do you stay in that tower?
How does the long way feel?
How does the wheel not turn hour on hour on hour?
(Trying to find my way)
(I was thinking my mind was made)
(All that I, all that I could)

Bon Iver - "AUATC" Well, you're up all night
And your head's down low
If you can see your own kite

Ya know a burden ain't a bust

It's only fair it burns...
S. Carey - "More I See" Everything you live for
Boils down in the mud
Broken leg, I lay here
Lost in the flood
And when I'm naked
Deciding
No I ain't just
Surviving
I know I must do this
Come on, little one
Know it won't...

Bunny is a rider
No sympathy, hmm...

I'm not alone but it sure feels like someone left
Deaf notes and talking heads
Carrying on your debt
Blood on the bed head and volumes we left unsaid
Let 'em talk and let it...
