Known World - Mount Eerie

Waking up in the known world

There’s something that’s left over

I rub my eyes into the known world

The house is dark all day, my eyes are half open

And the light that does get in is unconvincing

Half sleeping through the day in the middle of winter

Did I dream this in the dusk, or am I alive right now in the known world?

Seeing the known world in a cloud

Known world in twilight

Known world as a rumor

Known world as an old love

And then spring comes in a cold bucket of water

And the light that floods in, unrelenting

Doors and windows blow apart, the blankets blow off of the bed

Making coffee in the dissipating fog
