Lyrics
i got close enough to the river that i couldn't hear the trucks but not close enough to stop the roaring of my mind these rocks don't care if i live or die everyone i know will finally turn away i will confuse and disinterest all posterity lost wisdom is a quiet echo lost wisdom by the edge of the stream at dusk is a quiet echo on loud wind with one hand in the water running cold and clear fog obliterates the morning and i don't know where i am the heart is pounding and you are always on my mind lost wisdom is a quiet echo lost wisdom a boulder under the house i used to know you now i don't the screaming wind said my name i think significant and dark my lost face in the mirror at the gas station who are you but my face that i wake up with alone lost wisdom approaching shape in the low light you thought you knew me you thought our house was home i thought i knew myself i thought my heart was calm thunder lightning tidal wave the wind blew down the door lost wisdom the river goes through the room i saw your picture out of nowhere and forgot what i was doing everything vanished in your eclipse a constellation of moments comes to life in the void lost wisdom face down under the moss enraptured by the beautiful face in the billowing flames i open the front and back door and let the wind blow through and i stood in the house and tried to hold the breeze lost wisdom waking up in a pile of ash secret knowledge comes to me in the dusk showed me the river i saw me
