Elvis Perkins - Lyrics
Elvis Perkins - It's Only Me
Submitted by Dee
I heard a sound when I was a child
someone was walking through the pillow that night
the snow muted the pitch of night
a shadow approached across the field in white
it's only me it's only me and the sound of my heart it startled me
as I drifted from the dark room face lifted from the paper moon
reflected in the orbit bath he manages to say before he starts to laugh
you can't always trust the darkness and the dust
but me I'm just a man it's more than I can understand
it's only me
The white noise falls away to reveal the perfect day
where roses bloomed out of thin air and music rose from down the buried stairs
it's only mine it's only mine I grew it in the shade when the sun couldn't shine
and at times I don't know why tears come to my eyes
and what if I go blind as they flow out of my mind
it worries me it worries me
that there's someone on my mind that I don't see
I close my eyes to disappear into the fields of stars between my ears
the dark as they overlap we follow one another as we fade to black
it's only night it's only night
An ultrasound when I was alive the shadows go spying on the ones in the wild
they dip their arrows into the sea
they wash their arms as they wait for me
they wait for me they wait me
hey wait for me hey wait for me
