Grand Dark Feeling Of Emptiness Lyrics - Singles - Bonnie Prince Billy

Well I felt like I was born today 

So I took it upon me to go away 

To gather my thoughts and go away 

Where I could 

(Be used by) 

Somebody 

 

Now over the hill, like always you know 

Were Billy and Frankie and Henry and Joe 

And they beat and broke me hard and slow 

To prove I was nobody 

 

And no one I was and so I remained 

Knocked-out in a hut, no mother, no name 

And filled up my heart with one and the same 

That grand dark feeling of emptiness 

 

And was it a friend that turned me loose? 

Or was it a girl come to baste my goose? 

Or was it my great god who laid on his finger 

And started my clock anew? 

 

Ah no, it was rain 

Ah no, it was gunning 

It was point break and buckle 

And singing and cunning 

That skinned me, re-skinned me 

And started me running 

 

And I never looked back from then on 

And now I am learning bit by bit 

About to make and model shit 

The muddy bowl I live in it 

 

And all the mucks that tire us 

And I'm feared if I don't have 

A piglet, lamb, or little calf 

I'll chop my humanness in half 

And be as worm or virus 

 

But kids I've had and they are sung 

Upon folks ears my babes are hung 

Rhythmically they live among 

And grow but don't get old 

Not in a box, not in a void 

 

Not if their voice is never heard 

Nor if no one repeats a word 

But if their tune is told 

Then we can age and fall away 

To meet again some golden day 

And fill it in our happy way 

In starlight and in gold
