The Only Thing 4:44 Lyrics - Carrie & Lowell - Sufjan Stevens

the only thing that keeps me from driving this car 

half light jacknife into the canyon at night 

signs and wonders, perseus aligned with a skull 

slaying medusa, pegasus alight from us all 

do I care if I suvive this 

bury the dead where they're found 

in the veil of great surprises 

I wonder did you love me at all 

the only thing that keeps me from guarding my arm 

crosshatch, warm bath, holiday in after dark 

signs and wonders, water-stain riding the wall 

daniel's message, blood of the moon on us all 

do I care if I despise this, nothing else matters I know 

in the veil of great disguises, how do I live with your ghost 

should I tear my eyes out now 

everything I see returns to you somehow 

should I tear my heart out now 

everything I feel returns to you somehow 

I want to save you from your sorrow 

the only reason why I continue at all 

faith in reason, I wasted my life playing dumb 

signs and wonders, sea lion caves in the dark 

blind faith, god's grace, nothing else left to impart 

do I care if I survive this 

bury the dead where they're found 

in the view of great surprises, hold my head till I drown 

should I tear my eyes out now 

before I see too much 

should I tear my arms out now 

I want to feel your touch 

should I tear my eyes out now 

everything I see returns to you somehow 

should I tear my hear out now 

everything I feel returns to you somehow
