To think that I would die this time Isolated in the room where the bed rises Photographic ordinary people are everywhere Extraordinary histories, ordinary histories, ordinary histories [Sufjan Stevens & Shara Nova] I'll find sleep, I'll find peace Or in death we sleep with ease To figure that it was my fault Or so I've come to realize life is not about Love to some and (ordinary people are everywhere) Extraordinary people are, ordinary people are, ordinary people are [Sufjan Stevens & Shara Nova] Everywhere you look, everywhere you turn Illness is watching, waiting its turn Did I go at it wrong? Did I go intentionally to destroy me? I'm suffering in noise I'm suffering in (touching ordinary bodies) The burning from within the burning from with (ordinary hysteria) I could not be at rest, I could not be at peace (extraordinary hysteria) [Sufjan Stevens & Shara Nova] So do yourself a good (so do yourself a good), or do yourself a death (or do yourself a death) from ordinary (do yourself a good) causes (do yourself a good) Or do yourself a favor (or do yourself a good), or do yourself a death (do yourself a death) from ordinary (do yourself a good) causes Illness likes to prey upon the lonely, prey upon the lonely When it bites, oh, I would rather be dead I would rather be fine I want to be well, I want to be well I want to be well, I want to be well I want to be well, I want to be well I want to be well, I want to be well I want to be well, I want to be well I want to be well, I want to be well I want to be well, I want to be well I want to be well, I want to be well I want to be well, I want to be well I want to be well, I want to be well I want to be well, I want to be well I want to be well, I want to be well I want to be well And I forgive you even (I want to be well, I want to be well I want to be) As you choke me that way (well, I want to be well, I want to be) With the pill or demon (well, I want to be well, I want to be) And the shrouded shalom (well, I want to be well, I want to be) Under conversation (well, I want to be well, I want to be) In tremendous weight of (well, I want to be well, I want to be) A crowd of ages outside (well, I want to be well, I want to be) Dressed for murder (well, I want to be well, I want to be) I'm not fucking around (well, I want to be well, I want to be) I'm not, I'm not, I'm not fucking around (well, I want to be well, I want to be) I'm not, I'm not, I'm not fucking around (well, I want to be well, I want to be) I'm not, I'm not, I'm not fucking around (well, I want to be well, I want to be) I'm not, I'm not, I'm not fucking around (well, I want to be well, I want to be) I'm not, I'm not, I'm not fucking around (well, I want to be well, I want to be) I'm not, I'm not, I'm not fucking around (well, I want to be well, I want to be) I'm not, I'm not, I'm not fucking around (well, I want to be well, I want to be) I'm not, I'm not, I'm not (well, I want to be well, I want to be well, I) And shall I kiss you even As you take me that way?
