Phil Elverum - EMPTINESS lyrics

[Verse 1] “More emptiness,” I said, “And more, and more.” When someone asked me what was in my bag I said, “More emptiness” Where the house is not is where the room is The rest of the volcano is sky [Verse 2] “More emptiness,” again, “And more, and more.” “But what about the lives that we have lived And all the buildings and poems we made?” I see you We are two black holes in a vast night A van in neutral rolling down a hill unoccupied [Verse 3] “More emptiness,” again, “And more, and more.” I stood next to the river and threw a large sheet Of gla** as far as I could in The way the water was cut in two The sword in sky was mind only Forming this one thought: emptiness
