Sufjan Stevens - From the Mouth of Gabriel lyrics

Desperate measures lead to d**h From the mouth of Gabriel Who died in his sleep when the world was a very big mess A very big mess; he saw too much From now on I will look away from every accident That may or may not come my way Saw you were talking up above the Aleph room Masquerading as a loom Both of us saw things No one else would see as well From the mouth of Gabriel No one else would hear as well From the mouth of Gabriel, etc. Don't be so sure of what you feel (it might as well be trouble) From now on just let the universe be your shelter from the enemy Your face has changed I hardly know who you are this time And what a mess I've made of you You probably would but I won't let you run away You probably should but I won't let you run away this time Don't be afraid of loneliness some refugee beside itself Instead of what you've got You probably would but I won't let you go away You probably should but I won't let you go away this time Your face has changed I hardly know who you are this time And when I came into your room You tried to jump Now I know this is strange to hear from the mouth of God It was something like a scene from mars In a struggle between loves and lies The angel kept his face covered for to keep his word And while I spoke something left from my life Forget about the past Be at rest I'll make things right And while I held you at best you nearly died Forget about the past And I'll try to make things right
