lyrics

Black Rabbit

We drove through the night
with that spectral smoke clouding our eyes
you saw a black rabbit on the roadside
and you said it was a sign.

You were seventeen when you first touched the glass
and felt a spirit with your bare hands
and all at once the world fell open and you could never look back

And I know it makes you feel deceived
when I tell you that i don’t believe
in ghosts or supernatural stuff like that

But I don’t claim to know
what happens when we die
but for what it’s worth
I know what it’s like
to ache to see beyond the confines of our short lives.

"These towns are full of sharks", you say,
"how do they just look away
as this whole fucking valley burns
in the wake of their lies?"

Sitting out by flathead lake
you point to lights so far away
yeah, there must be a better place
and when they come for you
you won’t hesitate.

It’s a wretched world
and I feel it too
but when I’m lying close to you
I lose the will to locate what is true.

So if I put on this white sheet,
and appeared to you as if in a dream
would you notice me?

Or is it enough that love is something
no one has ever seen?
