It's Only Me Lyrics & Chords By Elvis Perkins

I heard a sound when I was a child
Someone was walking through the pillow that night
The snow muted the pitch of night
A shadow approached across the field in white

It's only me
It's only me and the sound of my heart it startled me
As I drifted from the dark room
Face lifted from the paper moon

Reflected in the orbit bath
He manages to say before he starts to laugh
"You can't always trust the darkness and the dust
But me I'm just a man it's more than I can understand
It's only me"

The white noise falls away to reveal the perfect day
Where roses bloomed out of thin air and music rose from down the buried stairs

It's only mine
It's only mine I grew it in the shade when the sun couldn't shine
And at times I don't know why tears come to my eyes
And what if I go blind as they flow out of my mind

It worries me
It worries me that there's someone on my mind that I don't see
I close my eyes to disappear
Into the fields of stars between my ears
The dark as they overlap
We follow one another as we fade to black

It's only night
It's only night

An ultrasound when I was alive
The shadows go spying on the ones in the wild
They dip their arrows into the sea
They wash their arms as they wait for me

They wait for me
They wait me
Hey wait for me
Hey wait for me
