Animal Collective - Defeat lyrics

Lightning crashed and brought the letter
I ran off into the garden
Flowers started growing there
Felt the dark lift from my hair

Truths that poured filled up the grail
Who could ask the question now?
Riding on the crying lion
Search for treasure's snaking lair

Golden bands wrap fury's hands
Let's accept a winning chance
Trees around can bring the life
I bent down on aching knees
And felt the change
Just grab something, take hold
The only things you know
Stay grounded like the spruce
A little change
Just grab something, take hold
The only thing you know
Stay grounded like the truth

Truths that poured filled up the grail
Who could ask the question now?
Riding on the crying lion
Search for treasure's snaking lair

Golden bands wrapped fury's arms

Life poured out from trees around
I bent down on aching knees and felt a change

Just grab something, take hold
The only thing you know
Stay grounded like a spruce a little change
Just grab something, take hold
The only thing you know
Stay grounded with the spruce
Every time the sound, the sound, the sound
Sky of sounds, sky of sounds
Will bring you 'round
What was on the ground, the ground
The ground sky of sounds, sky of sounds
The falling crown
One day you went down, down, down
Sky of crowns, sky of crowns
Will bring you 'round
Every time I'm down, down, down
Die around, die around, the falling ground

Every time I'm down, down, down
Sky of sounds, sky of sounds
The falling ground
One day you will sound, sound, sound
Sky of sounds, sky of sounds
Will change you 'round
Everyone went down, down, down
On the ground, on the ground
Don't keep me down
One day you will sound, sound, sound
Sky of sounds, sky of sounds
The falling ground

Once had an old way
Cracks in all the cabinets
Streets of old games coming of age
You withered old dog act your age
Good dog what was it's name?
Coming of age any old would do
Rice in all the cabinets oatmeal a day
Coming of age peanut butter go 'round
Bring that jam, now pass it 'round
That was a way coming of age

In the foggy water i saw venom floating
Justice, justice, helped her
Clean up all of her

Once had an old way
Cracks in all the cabinets
Streets of old games coming of age
Peanut butter go 'round play that jam, yeah
Bring it 'round drinking all day
Coming of age

Just a frightened mother
Looking for her daughter
Justice, justice, wandered
Looking for his mother

Isn't it now defeat? Oh, no, not now
Isn't it now defeat? Oh, no, not now
Isn't it now defeat? Oh, no, not now
Isn't it now defeat? Oh, no, not now

In the foggy water i saw venom floating
Justice, justice, helped her
Clean up all the murder

Isn't it now defeat? Oh, no, not now
Isn't it now defeat? Oh, no, not now
Isn't it now defeat? Oh, no, not now
Isn't it now defeat? Oh, no, not now
Isn't it now defeat? Oh, no, not now
Isn't it now defeat?
