Mount Eerie – Enduring The Waves lyrics
Reading about Buddhism and listening to Xasthur on the subway in New York City
Back when you were my home
Not that long ago
This
Life
Upends me
Again and again
(This churning life
Of avalanches
It spins)
Each
Night now
My mind in the dark
Brings it all roaring back
(This day plummets
Into night, now
My mind in the dark)
That you could not
Bear me
And the wind that came
In through the door
(Can I bear the uncertainty
That arrives on the wind
That came in through that door?)
That I can not
Hold you
Our devotions mismatched
(Holding you in my mind
I don't really see
Waking up surprised
With no one around
And wondering "who?")
We could have bridged the gap
But it yawned and swallowed
This world of ours
That's now yours and mine
This life
Bulldozed
By ridiculous sensitivities
Seeing your face everywhere
And there's no escape
(This life
Clinging to rocks in wind
Seeing this lost chance,)
Except what if we could go further in?
(we were each others' reward
For enduring the waves
"The wages of dying
Is love. "
Like the poem says
As long as the
One last leap
Into the dark
Is whole hearted
It almost was.)
Back when you were my home
Not that long ago
This
Life
Upends me
Again and again
(This churning life
Of avalanches
It spins)
Each
Night now
My mind in the dark
Brings it all roaring back
(This day plummets
Into night, now
My mind in the dark)
That you could not
Bear me
And the wind that came
In through the door
(Can I bear the uncertainty
That arrives on the wind
That came in through that door?)
That I can not
Hold you
Our devotions mismatched
(Holding you in my mind
I don't really see
Waking up surprised
With no one around
And wondering "who?")
We could have bridged the gap
But it yawned and swallowed
This world of ours
That's now yours and mine
This life
Bulldozed
By ridiculous sensitivities
Seeing your face everywhere
And there's no escape
(This life
Clinging to rocks in wind
Seeing this lost chance,)
Except what if we could go further in?
(we were each others' reward
For enduring the waves
"The wages of dying
Is love. "
Like the poem says
As long as the
One last leap
Into the dark
Is whole hearted
It almost was.)
