Lyrics:
[Phil Elverum and Julie Doiron] It's almost Mother's Day Me and the other widows will commiserate Alone at Montessori again Straddling two worlds Between the crush of single parenting And the need for wailing in the woods Around a slash pile burning into the night With tear crusted eyes [Phil Elverum] I know I'm overcompensating In this ptsd disorientation From my brief time in the rich part of the city Now my hands stink like salmon skin Left out in the rain in the ash Of the fire from last night I haven't bathed in a while And no one's near me [Julie Doiron] If there's significance in where you live Let it all go and follow love and intuition [Phil Elverum] Today the tabloids told the world you separated me [Julie Doiron] And see what's there [Phil Elverum] My phone began dinging more than usual [Julie Doiron] In the open sky [Phil Elverum] It was just like the day they found out we'd gotten married [Julie Doiron] Because we're all gonna die [Phil Elverum] Unwanted attention From an inhumane delirious absurd other world that keeps trying to eat you [Phil Elverum and Julie Doiron] I woke up quivering, raw, and heartbroken again I took my daughter to the garbage dump And rifled through the free pile And stood next to the pit The crows and ravens circling spoke to us And we spoke back to them But nothing is real Except this one thing: [Phil Elverum] Please remember at the bookstore in the poetry corner upstairs I slept with my head on your lap
