neutral milk hotel – sinking ship lyrics
sinking ship-
how long can you hold still?
your illness spills against my face
sinking ship-
how long can you hold still?
oh, can’t you feel the coming waves?
a perfect sunday portrait of my mother painting horses all alone
of lovers and of leaves still believing they are free to come and go
sinking ship-
how long can you hold still?
your illness is all that you are
a portrait of my father as a baby sleeping underneath the stars
a small pill of forgiveness i am giving to myself
it’s what i need
a small gift of fulfillment i am hoping you will open and receive
sinking ship-
how long can you hold still?
your illness fills this empty room
a portrait of your lover softly drowning in the water
a perfect sunday portrait of my mother sending signals through the drum
a portrait of my sadness finding shelter in the safety of my home
