First single from a forthcoming release by Jonas Sjøvaag

lyrics

How do you know where we will go?

1) That moment when you feel
the air leaving your lungs
and everyone around you seems to be
speaking in tongues
everything a complete mystery
Is this how it is supposed to be?

://: You say this loudly
as the world disappears ://:

2) In that short window of time
a bird easily takes flight
close your eyes and go to sleep
a dreamless creature in the night
light that travel from distant stars
might tell you that it:
“makes no difference who you are”

://: You sing that song
as the world disap-
pears ://:

ref
How do you know
Where we will go?
Down the old mainstream, or no?
Flow beyond the cosmic horizon

3) Drowsy, still in sleep
this is where we meet
I do nothing but gaze upon your body,
warm, in linen sheets
Outside, the garden, in full bloom
We stay inside this dark room

://: and make no sound at all
As the world disappears ://:

4) My bony hand in yours
we are sitting on the bed.
And let time pass, the hours go
I say: “let’s lie down instead”
Colors change, the shadows oh so pale
You’re the only one really here

://: Hiding in the cracks
as the world disappears ://:

5) So it ends, the mystery
you’re simply powered down
what could have become of it
is once again unknown
This room where no one longer breathes
Light through the curtains the only source of heat

://: Is the same as it ever was
though your world slowly disappears ://:
