Phil Elverum - SAUNA lyrics

[Verse 1] Out past beyond the field Inside the birches Under rising steam: A small room [Verse 2] To prove I don't exist To show that I am beyond This animal form And this lost mind Or am I? [Verse 3] The wood heats up And cracks and pulls apart The way a body groans I transform and the stars show [Verse 4] I don't think the world still exists Only this room in the snow And the light from coals And only this breath [Verse 5] I annihilate (Abandoned breath) All sensation (Hanging in the branches) And with the glowing core exposed (The core exposed) Head first into the frozen lake (I) (Into the lake mid-winter) (Cutting through all waking thoughts) In rain and wind and blanketing night (Shown at last) Standing under stream rising My life is a small fire I carry around (Coming into a clearing) Glowing coals on the wet ground
