Fleet Foxes - Crack-Up lyrics

So the mind won't lie and the arm won't set
And the bright red eye isn't off you yet

So the words won't come
And the hand won't touch and a midnight sun
Doesn't look like much as an iris contracts
Facing the day

(I can tell you've cracked
Like a china plate)

When the world insists that the false is so
With a philippic, as Cicero
"The tighter the fist the looser the sand"

If I don't resist will I understand?

Ooh, ooh, ooh

All things change dividing tides
Far as I can see all fades through
But a (light lie) of you
As Eellllyyaaalliiiiiyyy

All I see– dividing tides– rising over me––
