jennifer kimball - funeral in my brain lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i felt a funeral in my brain
and mourners to and fro
kept treading, treading ’til it seemed
that sense was breaking through

[verse 2]
and when they all were seated
a service like a drum
kept beating, beating ’til it seemed
my mind was going numb

[bridge]
then i heard them lift a box
and creak across my soul
with those same boots of lead again
then sp+ce began to toll

[verse 3]
as all the heavens were a bell
and being but an ear
and i and silence some strange race
wrecked solitary here

[verse 4]
i felt a cleaving in my mind
as if my brain had split
i tried to match it seam by seam
but could not make them fit
[verse 5]
the thought behind, i strove to join
unto the thought before
but sequence raveled out of sound
like b+lls upon a floor

[bridge]
there is a pain so utter
it swallows substance up
and covers the abyss with trance
so memory can step

[verse 6]
around across upon it
as one within a swoon
goes safely where an open eye
would drop him bone by bone

[bridge]
and then a plank in reason broke
and i dropped down and down
and hit a world at every plunge
and finished knowing then

[outro]
i felt a funeral in my brain
in my brain
in my brain
