Andrew Bird - I Felt a Funeral, in my Brain

Feat. Phoebe Bridgers



I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,
And Mourners to and fro
Kept treading - treading - till it seemed
That Sense was breaking through

And when they all were seated,
A Service, like a Drum
Kept beating - beating - till I thought
My mind was going numb

And then I heard them lift a Box
And creak across my Soul
With the same Boots of Lead, again,
Then Space - began to toll

As all the Heavens were a Bell,
And Being, but an Ear,
And I, and Silence, some strange Race,
Wrecked, solitary, here

And then a Plank in Reason, broke,
And I dropped down, and down -
And hit a World, at every plunge,
And Finished knowing - then

And then I heard them lift a Box
And creak across my Soul
With the same Boots of Lead, again,
Then Space - began to toll,

I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,
And Mourners to and fro
Kept treading - treading - till it seemed
That Sense was breaking through
