Mount Eerie — What? lyrics

Lyrics

When I was sturdier I’d talk about how
«certainly we’ll die
Eat shadows, bury candles.
Die.»
When I was sturdier I thought
«So what? I am forever mountainous!»
I bravely said, «No death of any kind could
ever matter to my mountain mind.
Come years, come surging, I am tall!»
When I was «sturdier"I was secretly afraid,
and the fear was blinding.
As you can see. I am no rock.
Through mountain wind,
What I actually am is thinning clouds.
