lyrics

you have a mythological beauty
you have the eye of someone i have seen
outside of ordinary situations
even outside of dreams 

you lie in bed at night and watch the lines of headlights through your screen
there is a child inside you who is trying
to raise the child in me 

if you wanna leave
you just have to say
you’re all caught up inside
but you know the way 

you cut the flesh of your left thumb
using your boyfriend's knife
seventeen you took his come
and you gave birth to your first life 

you gave andrew a family who
you thought could love and take better care
i have an older brother i don't know
he could be anywhere 

if you wanna leave
you just have to say
you’re all caught up inside
but you know the way
you’re all caught up inside
but you know the way 

rented a house in niswah, minnesota,
shrapnel, and oil cans, rhubarb in the yard
i built a ladder out of metal pieces
father was working hard 

standing beneath the oak tree by the front door
you were inside baking bread
sister came out and put her arms around me
blood gushing from my head
you held me in the backseat with a dishrag
soaking up blood with your eye
I was just 5 and you were 27 praying don't let my baby die 

if you wanna leave
you just have to say
you’re all caught up inside
but you know the way
you’re all caught up inside
but you know the way 

so much more
to live your life
to walk the floor
to say goodnight
to leave your light on
do you leave you light on? 

you’re all caught up inside
but you know the way

about

Big Thief image

Big Thief Brooklyn, New York

Listening to Big Thief is like the feeling of looking at a dog and suddenly marveling that it is like you but very not like you; when you are accustomed to looking at a dog and thinking 'dog', watching Big Thief is like forgetting the word 'dog' and looking at that naked animal and getting much closer to it and how different it is to you. ... more

I can sadly only choose between anything and dragon eyes for my favorite track, but then I realized it probably is anything. The rest of the album and its instrumental sister album are both amazing and imo her best release thus far. 9/10 angrypizza98
