[00:00.83]You're not unlucky, you're just not very smart.
[00:03.23]These things will never leave you - they're as close as you can get
[00:06.71]To a blueprint for the future - but you can call it fate.
[00:13.13]It's like these days I have to write down almost every thought I've held,
[00:16.56]So scared I am becoming of forgetting how it felt,
[00:20.17]And these fears they will unravel me one day,
[00:22.45]But still I am afraid.
[00:26.34]But I'm blessed -
[00:29.52]Just to be, more or less -
[00:33.20]Standing in the afterglow of rapture with the words the rapture left.
[00:39.49]Oh blessed -
[00:42.81]Just to be, more or less -
[00:46.57]Standing in the afterglow of rapture with the words the rapture left.
[00:53.57]
[00:56.01]Now you're blessed amongst all women,
[00:57.76]Now a man who's very good,
[00:59.62]He tells you how you feel until your life is understood,
[01:02.92]And he leads you through it arm in arm as though
[01:05.31]There was a map to guide the way.
[01:09.30]Now you write because you love him, now you write because he's kind,
[01:12.96]You write so much, you look up and you wrote yourself behind,
[01:16.15]And you're standing in a labyrinth of paper and the map has been erased.
[01:22.61]But you're blessed -
[01:25.40]Just to be, more or less -
[01:29.23]Standing in the afterglow of rapture with the words the rapture left.
[01:35.78]Are you blessed?
[01:39.03]Just to be, more or less?
[01:42.39]Now you're standing in the afterglow of rapture, but there is no rapture left.
[02:02.36]Oh come, and we will celebrate the things that make us real,
[02:05.88]The things that break us open, and the things that make us feel
[02:08.96]Like these accidental meetings up and partings of the way
[02:12.39]Are not so much our choice but in the blood of how we're made,
[02:15.64]It's like the way I have to write down almost everything I see,
[02:18.91]So that the record does obscure the thing the record used to be,
[02:20.91]And I know I'm not unlucky,
[02:24.23]I was just born this way.
[02:28.61]But I'm blessed.oh~~
[02:42.44]blessed~~oh~~
[02:55.25]Now a paper forest grows up in the supermarket aisles,
[02:58.79]The baby born with teeth looks at its mother and it smiles,
[03:02.10]And we all fall down
[03:04.43]Like wind blows through the paper forest.
[03:08.51]And a paper forest grows up in the supermarket aisles,
[03:11.89]The baby born with teeth looks at its mother and smiles,
[03:15.34]And we all fall down
[03:15.44]As wind blows through the paper forest.s
[03:21.72]And a paper forest grows up in the supermarket aisle
[03:25.32]Alarm clock fingers turn they're counting seconds like they're miles
[03:28.28]And you say, "wake up now, 'cause I can see no paper forest."
