Mitski
You in a Place for a While by Yourself
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I find myself hearing verses from other songs
Melodies I heard in a dream where your eyes turned white
And I felt like loosening off of the centaurs in me
And those songs sustained through our minds until we were silent
Hooves heard by the drift outside
[Verse 2]
I saw angels dancing to music that I could not recognize
Singing words which enshrined our faith like a prayer with a light
The ones who makе a spell which can too cast towards the moon
[Verse 3]
And far lights drawn out of my eyе holes
Blinded both my eyes
They force me to turn away
[Chorus]
I am right here with myself
As I am still there with you
Time was a strange reverb of everything
Distant bells ringing
[Post-Chorus]
While I think
We are bound to the thoughts which frighten us
Like a child drawn to a flame
[Verse 4]
Now I write music seeking some kind of absolution
I think that I'm singing to their tongues
I spin and sing while an ancient drum will stir quiet and come forever
Like gleaming pendulous small moons watching over us
Forming a fixed constellation
[Chorus]
I am not here with myself
As I am still there with you
Time was a strange reverb of everything
Saw her
Like life from a star
Distant bells ringing
[Post-Chorus]
While I think
We should try to change all which fights for us
Like a young guide shaping the clay
[Outro]
Moon weeps
The moon
