It's Only Me Lyrics - Ash Wednesday - Elvis Perkins

I heard a sound 

When I was a child 

Someone was walking through the pillow that night 

The snow muted 

The pitch of night 

A shadow approached across a field in white 

It's only me 

It's only me 

And the sound of my heart it startled me 

As I drifted 

From the dark room 

Face lifted from the paper moon 

Reflected in the orbit bath 

He manages to say before he starts to laugh 

You can't always trust 

The darkness and the dust 

But me, I'm just a man 

It's more than I can understand 

It's only me 

The white noise 

Falls away 

To reveal the perfect day 

Where roses bloomed 

Out of thin air 

And music rose from down the buried stairs 

It's only mine 

It's only mine 

I grew it in the shade 

When the sun couldn't shine 

And at times I don't know why 

The tears come to my eyes 

And what if I go blind 

As they flow out of my mind 

It worries me 

It worries me 

That there's someone on my mind 

Who I don't see 

I close my eyes to disappear 

Into the fields of stars between my ears 

The dark 

As they overlap 

We follow one another 

As we fade to black 

It's only night 

It's only night 

An ultrasound when I was alive 

The shadows go spying on the ones in the wild 

They dip their arrows 

Into the sea 

They wash their arms 

As they wait for me 

They wait for me 

They wait for me 

Hey wait for me 

Hey wait for me
