Songtexte: Elvis Perkins. It's Only Me.

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 a 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

the 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

who 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 for me

hey wait for me

hey wait for me
