Mount Eerie - Lost Wisdom lyrics
[Mount Eerie - Lost Wisdom lyrics]
I got close enough to the river
That I couldn't hear the trucks
But not close enough to stop
The roaring of my mind:
"These rocks don't care if I live or die"
"Everyone I know will finally turn away"
"I will confuse and
Disinterest all posterity"
Lost wisdom is a quiet echo
Lost wisdom by the edge of the stream at dusk
Is a quiet echo on loud wind
With one hand in the water
Running cold and clear
Fog obliterates the morning and I
Don't know where I am
The heart is pounding and you
Are always on my mind
Lost wisdom is a quiet echo
Lost wisdom: a boulder under the house
I used to know you now I don't
The screaming wind said my name I think
Significant and dark
My lost face in the mirror at the gas station
Who are you above my face that
I wake up with alone?
Lost wisdom: approaching shape in
The low light
You thought you knew me
You thought our house was home
I thought I knew myself
I thought my heart was calm
Thunder, lightning, tidal wave
The wind blew down the door
Lost wisdom: the river goes through the room
I saw your picture out of nowhere
And forgot what I was doing
A constellation of moments comes to
Life in the void
Lost wisdom: face down under the moss
Enraptured by the beautiful face
In the billowing flames
I open the front and back door
And let the wind blow through
And I stood in the house and
Tried to hold the destroying breeze
Lost wisdom: waking up in a pile of ash
Secret knowledge comes to me in the dusk
You showed me the river and I saw me
That I couldn't hear the trucks
But not close enough to stop
The roaring of my mind:
"These rocks don't care if I live or die"
"Everyone I know will finally turn away"
"I will confuse and
Disinterest all posterity"
Lost wisdom is a quiet echo
Lost wisdom by the edge of the stream at dusk
Is a quiet echo on loud wind
With one hand in the water
Running cold and clear
Fog obliterates the morning and I
Don't know where I am
The heart is pounding and you
Are always on my mind
Lost wisdom is a quiet echo
Lost wisdom: a boulder under the house
I used to know you now I don't
The screaming wind said my name I think
Significant and dark
My lost face in the mirror at the gas station
Who are you above my face that
I wake up with alone?
Lost wisdom: approaching shape in
The low light
You thought you knew me
You thought our house was home
I thought I knew myself
I thought my heart was calm
Thunder, lightning, tidal wave
The wind blew down the door
Lost wisdom: the river goes through the room
I saw your picture out of nowhere
And forgot what I was doing
A constellation of moments comes to
Life in the void
Lost wisdom: face down under the moss
Enraptured by the beautiful face
In the billowing flames
I open the front and back door
And let the wind blow through
And I stood in the house and
Tried to hold the destroying breeze
Lost wisdom: waking up in a pile of ash
Secret knowledge comes to me in the dusk
You showed me the river and I saw me
