The Only Thing Lyrics - Carrie & Lowell - Sufjan Stevens

The only thing that keeps me from driving this car 

Half-light, jack knife into the canyon at night 

Signs and wonders: Perseus aligned with the skull 

Slain Medusa, Pegasus alight from us all 

Do I care if I survive this? 

Bury the dead where they're found 

In a veil of great surprises: 

I wonder did you love me at all? 

The only thing that keeps me from cutting my arm 

Cross hatch, warm bath, Holiday Inn after dark 

Signs and wonders: water stain writing the wall 

Daniel's message, blood of the moon on us all 

Do I care if I despise this? 

Nothing else matters, I know 

In a veil of great disguises: 

How do I live with your ghost? 

Should I tear my eyes out now? 

Everything I see returns to you somehow 

Should I tear my heart out now? 

Everything I feel returns to you somehow 

I want to save you from your sorrow 

The only reason why I continue at all 

Faith in reason, I wasted my life playing dumb 

Signs and wonders: sea lion caves in the dark 

Blind faith, God's grace, nothing else left to impart 

Do I care if I survive this? 

Bury the dead where they're found 

In a veil of great surprises, 

hold to my head till I drown 

Should I tear my eyes out now, 

before I see too much? 

Should I tear my arms out now? 

I want to feel your touch 

Should I tear my eyes out now? 

Everything I see returns to you somehow 

Should I tear my heart out now? 

Everything I feel returns to you somehow
