The Antlers - Epilogue lyrics
[The Antlers - Epilogue lyrics]
In a nightmare
I am falling from the ceiling
Into bed beside you
You're asleep, I'm screaming
Shoving you to try to wake you up
And like before
You've got no interest in the life
You live when you're awake
Your dreams still follow storylines like
Fictions you would make
So I lie down against your back until
We're both back in the hospital
But now it's not a cancer ward
We're sleeping in the morgue
Men and women in blue and white
They are singing all around you
With heavy shovels holding earth
You're being buried to your neck
In that hospital bed
Being buried quite alive now
I'm trying to dig you out but all you
Want is to be buried there together
You're screaming and cursing
And angry and hurting me
And then smiling and crying
Apologizing
I've woken up, I'm in our bed
But there's no breathing body there beside me
Someone must have taken you while
I was stuck asleep
But, I know better as my eyes adjust
You've been gone for quite a while now
And I don't work there in the hospital
They had to let me go
When I try to move my arms sometimes
They weigh too much to lift
I think you buried me awake
My one and only parting gift
But, you return to me at night just when
I think I may have fallen asleep
Your face is up against mine
And I'm too terrified to speak
You're screaming and cursing
And angry and hurting me
And then smiling and crying
Apologizing you're screaming
And cursing and angry
And hurting me and then smiling
And crying apologizing
You're screaming and cursing
And angry and hurting me
And then smiling and crying
Apologizing
I am falling from the ceiling
Into bed beside you
You're asleep, I'm screaming
Shoving you to try to wake you up
And like before
You've got no interest in the life
You live when you're awake
Your dreams still follow storylines like
Fictions you would make
So I lie down against your back until
We're both back in the hospital
But now it's not a cancer ward
We're sleeping in the morgue
Men and women in blue and white
They are singing all around you
With heavy shovels holding earth
You're being buried to your neck
In that hospital bed
Being buried quite alive now
I'm trying to dig you out but all you
Want is to be buried there together
You're screaming and cursing
And angry and hurting me
And then smiling and crying
Apologizing
I've woken up, I'm in our bed
But there's no breathing body there beside me
Someone must have taken you while
I was stuck asleep
But, I know better as my eyes adjust
You've been gone for quite a while now
And I don't work there in the hospital
They had to let me go
When I try to move my arms sometimes
They weigh too much to lift
I think you buried me awake
My one and only parting gift
But, you return to me at night just when
I think I may have fallen asleep
Your face is up against mine
And I'm too terrified to speak
You're screaming and cursing
And angry and hurting me
And then smiling and crying
Apologizing you're screaming
And cursing and angry
And hurting me and then smiling
And crying apologizing
You're screaming and cursing
And angry and hurting me
And then smiling and crying
Apologizing
