I Want To Be Well Lyrics - The Age Of Adz - Sufjan Stevens

To think that I would die this time 

Isolated in the room where the bed rises 

Photographic ordinary people are everywhere 

Extraordinary histories, ordinary histories, ordinary histories 

I'll find sleep, I'll find peace 

Or in death you'll sleep with me 

To figure that it was my fault 

Or so I've come to realize life is not about 

Love with someone 

(ordinary people are everywhere) 

Extraordinary people are, ordinary people are, ordinary people are

Everywhere you look, everywhere you turn 

Illness is watching, waiting its turn 

Did I go at it wrong? 

Did I go intentionally to destroy me? 

I'm suffering in noise I'm suffering in 

(touching ordinary bodies) 

The burning from within the burning from with 

(ordinary hysteria) 

I could not be at rest, I could not be at peace (extraordinary hysteria) 

So do yourself a good, or do yourself a death from ordinary causes 

Or do yourself a favor, or do yourself a death from ordinary causes 

Illness likes to prey upon the lonely, 

prey upon the lonely 

Wave goodbye, oh, I would rather be, 

but I would rather be fine

I want to be well, I want to be well 

I want to be well, I want to be well 

I want to be well, I want to be well 

I want to be well, I want to be well 

I want to be well, I want to be well 

I want to be well, I want to be well 

I want to be well, I want to be well 

I want to be well, I want to be well 

I want to be well, I want to be well 

I want to be well, I want to be well 

I want to be well, I want to be well... 

And I forgive you even 

As you choke me that way 

With the pill or demon 

And the shrouded shalom 

Under conversation 

In tremendous weight of 

A crowd of ages outside 

Dressed for murder 

I'm not fucking around 

(well, I want to be well, I want to be) 

I'm not, I'm not, I'm not fucking around 

(well, I want to be well, I want to be) 

And shall I kiss you even 

As you take me that way? 

With the pill or demon 

As my body changes 

Apparitions gone awry 

They surround me, all sides 

But from within I see an unholy change 

I'm not fucking around (well, I want to be well, I want to be ) 

I'm not, I'm not, I'm not fucking around 

(well, I want to be well, I want to be )
