《Vertebrae》歌词

[00:00:00] Vertebrae - Christine Fellows

[00:00:06] A photo essay of a family in mourning

[00:00:10] Perforated ever-so-slightly

[00:00:13] To better let the light seep through

[00:00:23] Sunday traffic clears a path

[00:00:26] We float inches above the road

[00:00:29] Close our eyes and drive so slow

[00:00:33] Like we never need to get home

[00:00:40] To clear the doorstep of flowers

[00:00:44] Throw open the blinds in his empty room

[00:00:48] Avert our eyes from his fingerprints

[00:00:52] Is there something I'm forgetting

[00:00:57] Fall to my knees in the hospital parking lot

[00:01:01] On the way in arms full of branches

[00:01:06] I am dead fall dead fall

[00:01:14] Last time I came here to visit him

[00:01:18] I ran sunburnt through the halls

[00:01:20] My arms full of tiger-lilies

[00:01:23] I don't remember this

[00:01:25] I was told to go home

[00:01:32] Clear the doorstep of flowers

[00:01:35] Throw open the blinds in his empty room

[00:01:39] Avert my eyes from his fingerprints

[00:01:43] Is there something I'm forgetting

[00:01:48] Why when you know you should go

[00:01:52] Is it so hard to leave

[00:01:57] Why when you know you should go

[00:02:01] Is it so hard to leave

[00:02:05] Why when you know you should go

[00:02:21] Came this far to say goodbye to set things right

[00:02:25] Instead I fiddle with his blankets fetching coffee

[00:02:29] No one will drink

[00:02:31] I am not prepared

[00:02:37] Through the hush of debts and the roar of engines

[00:02:42] We'll struggle to recall

[00:02:44] This is how it ended

[00:02:48] This is how it ends

[00:02:54] Home

[00:02:55] Turn the key in the door and pause

[00:02:59] For what seems like an awfully long time

[00:03:03] There's something I'm both remembering and forgetting

[00:03:07] A name on the tip of my tongue

[00:03:12] Why when you know you should go

[00:03:16] Is it so hard to leave

[00:03:20] Why when you know you should go

[00:03:24] Is it so hard to leave

[00:03:29] Why when you know you should go

[00:03:33] Is it so hard to leave

[00:03:37] Why when you know you should go
