Mythological Beauty Lyrics - Big Thief

you have a mythological beauty 

you have the eye of someone i have seen 

outside of ordinary situations 

even outside of dreams 

you lie in bed at night and watch the lines of headlights through your screen 

there is a child inside you who is trying 

to raise the child in me 

if you wanna leave 

you just have to say 

you're all caught up inside 

but you know the way 

you cut the flesh of your left thumb 

using your boyfriend's knife 

seventeen you took his come 

and you gave birth to your first life 

you gave andrew a family who 

you thought could love and take better care 

i have an older brother i don't know 

he could be anywhere 

if you wanna leave 

you just have to say 

you're all caught up inside 

but you know the way 

you're all caught up inside 

but you know the way 

rented a house in niswah, minnesota, 

shrapnel, and oil cans, rhubarb in the yard 

i built a ladder out of metal pieces 

father was working hard 

standing beneath the oak tree by the front door 

you were inside baking bread 

sister came out and put her arms around me 

blood gushing from my head 

you held me in the backseat with a dishrag 

soaking up blood with your eye 

I was just 5 and you were 27 praying don't let my baby die 

if you wanna leave 

you just have to say 

you're all caught up inside 

but you know the way 

you're all caught up inside 

but you know the way 

so much more 

to live your life 

to walk the floor 

to say goodnight 

to leave your light on 

do you leave you light on? 

you're all caught up inside 

but you know the way
