Phil Elverum - YOUTH lyrics

I look through the big windows at the airport again Far from home in 2014, disconnected and young In my bag, a book of zen poems that I read and re-read They all say: “don't worry Dreamed dust is always blowing All this is a veil” The veil of youth is lifting in me constantly Far from home again while everything is born by my eye Only now and this airport window and whatever I see The dissolving youth of things is shown as emptiness Dressed up as spring All million colors and everyone I've known Pa**ing through a mind and it's this same mind That was born Wild and empty, wailing in electric lights since birth Far from home at last, and I'm still trying to let the spring emerge From beneath every thought unknown and vast But my youth and self a**urance fill the sky “There's no moon,” my young mind thinks “In a totally black night sky” But there is a moon
