Paper Forest (In The Afterglow of Rapture) - Emmy the Great

You're not unlucky

You're just not very smart

These things will never leave you

They're as close as you can get

To a blueprint for the future

But you can call it fate

It's like these days

I have to write down almost

Every thought I've held

So scared I am becoming

Of forgetting how it felt

And these fears they will unravel me one day

But still I am afraid

But I'm blessed

Just to be more or less

Standing in the afterglow of rapture

With the words the rapture left

Oh blessed

Just to be more or less

Standing in the afterglow

Of rapture with the words the rapture left

Oh

Now you're blessed amongst all women

Now a man who's very good

He tells you how you feel

Until your life is understood

And he leads you through

It arm in arm as though

There was a map to guide the way

And now you write because you love him

Now you write because he's kind

You write so much you look up

And you wrote yourself behind

And you're standing in a labyrinth

Of paper and the map has been erased

But you're blessed

Just to be more or less

Standing in the afterglow

Of rapture with the words the rapture left

Are you blessed

Just to be more or less

Now you're standing in the afterglow of rapture

But there is no rapture left

Oooooh

Oooooh

Oooooh

Oooooh

Oooooh

Oooooh

Oooooh

Oooooh

Oh come and we will celebrate

The things that make us real

The things that break us open

And the things that make us feel

Like these accidental meetings up

And partings of the way

Are not so much our choice

But in the blood of how we're made

It's like the way I have to write down

Almost everything I see

So that the record does obscure

The thing the record used to be

And I know I'm not a unlucky

I was just born this way

But I'm blessed

Oooooh

Blessed

Ooooh

And a paper forest grows up

In the supermarket aisles

The baby born with teeth looks

At it's mother and it smiles

And we all fall down

Like wind blows through the paper forest

And a paper forest grows up

In the supermarket aisles

The baby born with teeth

Looks at it's mother and it's smiles

And we all fall down

As wind blows through the paper forests

And a paper forest grows up

In the supermarket aisle

Alarm clock fingers turn

They're counting seconds like they're miles

And you say wake up now

'Cause I can see no paper forest
