《Real Death》歌词

[00:00:00] Real Death - Mount Eerie

[00:00:01] Death is real

[00:00:04] Someone's there and then they're not

[00:00:07] And it's not for singing about

[00:00:10] It's not for making into art

[00:00:14] When real death enters the house all poetry is dumb

[00:00:20] When I

[00:00:22] Walk in

[00:00:26] Into the room where you were

[00:00:33] And look

[00:00:36] Into the emptiness instead

[00:00:45] All fails

[00:00:52] My knees fail

[00:00:58] My brain fails

[00:01:04] Words fail

[00:01:11] Crusted with tears catatonic and raw

[00:01:14] I go downstairs and outside and you still get mail

[00:01:23] A week after you died

[00:01:26] A package with your name on it came

[00:01:29] And inside was a gift for our daughter

[00:01:32] You had ordered in secret

[00:01:33] And collapsed there on the front steps I wailed

[00:01:42] A backpack for when she goes to school

[00:01:45] A couple years from now

[00:01:47] You were thinking ahead to a future

[00:01:50] You must have known deep down would not include you

[00:01:53] Though you clawed at the cliff you were sliding down

[00:01:57] Being swallowed into a silence that is bottomless and real

[00:02:07] It's dumb

[00:02:10] And I don't want to learn anything from this

[00:02:14] I love you
