[Phil Elverum]
Now I'm frantically grasping
At wisps of dissipating wisdom
As we disband
This is the wealth I would like to leave to my daughter
When she lets go of my hand
These words
These hopes
We almost exemplified
Wisdom lost
Undiscovered paintings in a cave
We almost went inside
[Phil Elverum and Julie Doiron]
If any descendants ever somehow find
Any evidence of us
On it I'll inscribe:
Love vehemently
[Phil Elverum]
Like we did
[Phil Elverum and Julie Doiron]
Without adverting your eyes
For love it's worth it
Look into the fire
Don't flinch away, no matter what
Monstrous fears will arise
If there's a cataclysm and you have to go inside
Please at least let some wind blow in
[Phil Elverum]
Take yet another breath
[Phil Elverum and Julie Doiron]
And stay right there
Courageous and kind
With love permeating, your doors and windows wide
Look right into the fire
Look right into the fire
Look right into the fire
Look right into the fire
