Phil Elverum - What? lyrics

When I was sturdier I'd talk about how certainly we all will die We will eat shadows, we will bury candles…die, die, die When I was sturdier I thought "So what? I am forever mountainous!" I bravely said "No d**h of any kind could matter to my mountain mind Come years, come surging, I am tall!" When I was sturdier I was secretly scared And the fear was blinding As you can see, I am no rock As you can see, through mountain wind What I actually am is thinning clouds
