If I'm not a lion and I'm not an island if time is the diamond

J. Tillman - In The Drugs (Low Cover)

otherwise known as Father John Misty 💕

rest in peace Mimi, your voice transcends mortality

I was a child

I was on fire

but I stayed alive while all else died

I held my breath

what could I say

and I closed my eyes like marvin gaye

 If your hearing screams

come back child come back

my hands are dry

is that the truth he says the pain is easy


three inches above the floor





- Low, Words

'my hands are dry'

"Breaking like dolls singing like birds we always get what we deserve."

- Low,  In the Drugs

'I was a child on fire staying alive while all else died'

Low

You try to sleep
'Cause there's never enough
You try to sleep
But then you never wake up
Inside the dream
You take a step
You come to see
To see your debt

Try to sleep
Don't look at the camera
Try to sleep

You stretch your wings
You take a breath
You hide your feet
Embrace your head
A tragedy
No, there's never enough
You try to sleep
But then you never wake up

Try to sleep
Don't look at the camera
Try to sleep

But then you never wake up

breaking like dolls
singing like birds 
we always get
what we deserve

I was a child
I was on fire
but I stayed alive
while all else died

I stayed alive while all else died.
