oldsoulma - wilderness (clothed in mystery) lyrics

Loading...

[verse]
the town i live in is a wilderness
and i’m filling a pretty weird niche
i’ve got no reason to be here
but we all must exist

purpose is like a pack of wolves
and you’ve got to give them something
so i sprinkle seeds by the front step
doubt they’ll grow given the pavement

[prechorus]
and i know this won’t last
in the back of my mind i am civilized
and i forget this too fast

[verse]
wait up all night for sunrise
wait out the winter for springtime
there’s a garden snake by the front step
waiting for its scales to thaw

waiting for the next big die+out
waiting for my clothes to dry out
reach my fingers in my pocket for
an aluminum foil ball
[prechorus]
and i know this won’t last
in the back of my mind i am civilized
and i know how i should react

[chorus]
when there’s a world pent+up
squirming right in front of me
i want to reach out but i’m scared
what could it it do to me?

and the stars look wild tonight
don’t they, my queen
so dark and distant
clothed in mystery
oh god d+mn

[verse]
city+living is strangers
passing by the window
passing by the stores and coffee shops
a hundred ways to pray

if they say it’s a cool town
they just mean it has good food
makes you feel like a predator
with a hundred ways to prey
[prechorus]
it won’t always be this way
amazon or the startup it bought
could take even this away

[chorus]
but not you, my queen
my soliloquy
my green ferns in the forest
my big red oak tree

my civility
rooted and buried
i will turn to you
naked and simple
clothed in mystery
oh god d+mn
