Just Let Go – Sturgill Simpson

Just Let Go – Sturgill Simpson

Woke up today and decided to kill my ego
It aint ever done me no good no how
Gonna break through and blast off to the Bardo
In them flowers of light far away from the here and now

Taking a 49 divine day vacation
From reality and all else in between
Gonna transmigrate to my destination
Far beyond time in an eternal dream

But am I dreaming or am I dying
Either way I don’t mind at all
It feels so good you just can’t help but crying
You have to let go so the soul can fall

Oh my God it’s so beautiful
Everything is a part of me
It’s so hard looking through all the lies made of wool
But if you close your eyes it becomes so easy to see

 

 

Flaws – Vancouver Sleep Clinic

 

The weight, I’m gone
In my skin, I’m lost
Tangled in the bones of this love
Melding to the flow of your blood

Grace bestowed
But I was shaped with snow
Seasons don’t change
Ignorance remains

I need this alone

The burdens on this chest
The vessel of these words
Sinking under tension
Drew afterthoughts and hurt

 

 

Blood Bank – Bon Iver

Blood Bank – Bon Iver

Well, I met you at the blood bank
We were looking at the bags
Wondering if any of the colors
Matched any of the names we knew on the tags

You said, “See look at it: that’s yours
Stacked on top with your brother’s.
See how they resemble one another’s
Even in their plastic little covers.”

And I said, “I know it well.
That secret that you know that you don’t know how to tell
It fucks with your honor and it teases your head
But you know that it’s good, girl
‘Cause it’s running you with red.”

Then the snow started falling
We were stuck out in your car
You were rubbing both my hands
Chewing on a candy bar

You said, “Ain’t this just like the present
To be showing up like this?
As the moon waned to crescent
We started to kiss

And I said, “I know it well.
That secret that we know that we don’t know how to tell
I’m in love with your honor, I’m in love with your cheeks
What’s that noise up the stairs, babe?
Is that Christmas morning creaks?”

And I know it well, I know it well
And I know it well, I know it well
And I know it well, I know it well
And I know it well, I know it well
