Real Lost Wisdom

[Verse 1: Phil Elverum] Now I'm frantically grasping At wisps of dissipating wisdom As we disband This is the wealth I would like to leave to my daughter When she lets go of my hand [Verse 2: Phil Elverum] These words These hopes We almost exemplified Wisdom lost Undiscovered paintings in a cave We almost went inside [Verse 3: Phil Elverum & Julie Doiron] If any descendants ever somehow find Any evidence of us On it I'll inscribe "Love vehemently" Like we did without averting your eyes For love, it's worth it Look into the fire [Verse 4: Phil Elverum & Julie Doiron] Don't flinch away, no matter what Monstrous fears will arise If there's a cataclysm and you have to go inside Please, at least let some wind blow in Take yet another breath And stay right there Courageous and kind With love permeating Your doors and windows wide Look right into the fire, look right into the fire Look right into the fire, look right into the fire
