Poor Old Lu — The Great Unwound lyrics

Lyrics

This is the lesser thing
A fading line, a dark dream
And you think you’ll stand up straight
This is the great unwound
This is the lost and the found
A moment’s peace that seems will never stay
«But you press in hard against spaces I never gave»
And the worst thing you’ll ever know
A sense of freedom in the dying slow
And it will drag you down like a heavy stone
And it won’t let go
«So breathe in deeply, my son
I swear I’ve won»
«This need not be the sum of the one I’ve called My own»
This is a resounding ring
That calls you home or calls you in
So choose you this day
This is a crashing sound
It comes in loud and you wonder how
The simple things seem to complicate
«But you press in hard against spaces I never gave»
And the worst thing you’ll ever know
A sense of freedom in the dying slow
And it will drag you down like a heavy stone
And it won’t let go
«So breathe in deeply, my son
I swear I’ve won»
«This need not be the sum of the one I’ve called My own»
«So will you come alive?»
I can’t start breathing
«So will you come inside?»
Inside I’m freezing
And the worst thing you’ll ever know
A sense of freedom in the dying slow
And it will drag you down like a heavy stone
And it won’t let go
And the worst thing you’ll ever know
A sense of freedom in the dying slow
And it will drag you down like a heavy stone
And it won’t let go
«So breathe in deeply, my son
I swear I’ve won»
«This need not be the sum of the one I’ve called My own»
